You're so delicious
You're so soft
Sweet on the tip of my tongue
You taste like sunlight
And strawberry bubble gum

You bite my lip
You spike my blood
You make my heart beat faster

Own me, you own
You rattle my bones
You turn me over and over
Til I can't control myself
Make me a liar
One big disaster
You make my heart beat faster

It's the way you swell, slow
Pushing right out of your seams
It's the way you smile, baby
When you've got me on my knees

You're all night noise
You're sirens howl
You make my heart beat faster

Own me, you own
You rattle my bones
You turn me over and over
Til I can't control myself
Make me a liar
One big disaster
'Cause you make my heart beat faster

'Cause I jump back, crash, I crawl
I beg I steal, I fall
Yeah you own me
And you make my heart beat faster, faster
Yeah faster, faster

I can't get enough
Because it's on like
I guess this world is over to me

You own me, you own
You rattle my bones
You turn me over and over
Til I can't control myself
Make me a liar
One big disaster
'Cause you make my heart beat

You own me, you own
You rattle my bones
You turn me over and over
Til I can't control myself
Make me a liar
One big disaster
'Cause you make my heart beat faster
You make my heart beat faster

    My Interpretation

    I think the lyrics speak for themselves, but I think of this song as a extremely sexy, but sweet song. It sounds as if he's completely infatuated with this girl's presence, but isn't overtly over the top. Reminds me of Dave Matthews Band's Crush in a similar lyrical sense.

    I must agree that this song speaks for itself.....the boy is in love!! hahaha I adore the way he words his feelings though! Like:

    "You're so delicious You're so soft, sweet on the tip of my tongue You taste like sunlight and strawberry bubble gum "

    The song could also be about an energy drink :)! (though I agree it's about a girl)

    when I saw him in Orlando the other night, he kept joking how Prince is/was the king of sexy songs. I'm not gonna lie, Matt Nathanson knows how to write about sexy naked times better than most artists these days. I love this song.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
