Warm Lyrics
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason (No, no)
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
Tell me the reason (Yeah)
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Why, why, why?
Don't you lie, what do you want?
Fall in love, ah, risk it all
[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
Tell me what you want
'Cause I know that you're lonely on your own
We're out in L.A. for a month
I don't think I can hide my emotions no, no more (Uh-huh)
A late night, say you want me, say you're selfish
Think about my body, then two-time
Say you want her? Do you want her?
Doesn't do it like me, no
So hot, burn the place down
Give you what you need
So you gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
You gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
(Why we can't fall in love)
[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Why, why, why?
Don't you lie, what do you want?
Fall in love, ah, risk it all
[Verse 2: HAIM]
Make me wanna fall in love
Baby, make mistakes
Hit me with a champagne kiss
And now I'm not thinkin' straight
Look at the skyline high
I look up, I wish I saw your face
I wanna fall in love
Jump in the deep end
'Cause deep down, you're d-dying
Tell me you're kinda nervous
Tell me you feel the same
I wish it was more than surface
I wish I could feel nothing
Come give me everything
Burn down and go again
So you gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
You gotta tell me the reason
Why you won't open up
Know I'ma send you to heaven
Tequila on your tongue
And you gotta tell me the reason
Why we can't fall in love
[Outro: HAIM & Charli XCX]
Ooh, baby
Why, why, why
Tell me, tell me, tell me the reason
Know you lie, what do you want
Tell me, tell me, tell me the reason
Fall in love, ah, risk it all, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Tell me the reason
Tell me the reason, oh yeah
You gotta tell me the reason
Tell me the reason
Tell me the reason
Tell me the reason

On August 29th, 2019, Charli took to her Instagram story and explained the message of Warm, saying,
It’s about unrequited love I suppose, well kind’ve unrequited. More just like when you’re in it with someone and it’s just like they’re a fucking player and you aren’t in that zone, you know, and you can’t get on the same page.
Speaking to Apple Music, she also said:
This song is produced by A.G. Cook. He actually wrote a few of the melodies on this song, too. When we were making this song, we were working at Flume’s studio in LA, and this was at the point where we thought we were still going to do a third mixtape. But then we had this song as a couple of ideas and were like, ‘Let’s just do the album. Now’#s the time for the Charli album.‘ When HAIM came to the studio house that I had rented in LA at the beginning of 2019, I had just had a lot of dental work done, so my whole mouth was super numb. I was dribbling; I couldn’t really speak. They were like, 'What happened to you!’ It as a funny session, but the three of them came through. I’m so happy with the song.
