Write On Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Normani]
Pick up the pen
Put it on the paper
Write on my skin
Bring me to life
Can't start again
There ain't no eraser
All of my flaws
You got them so right


[Pre-Chorus: Camila]
Everything is blank until you draw me
Touching on my body like you know me

[Chorus: Lauren]
Write on me
Color outside the lines

Love the way you tat me up
Baby, take your time
Write on me
Gimme some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat me up
I'll never change my mind

[Post-Chorus: All, Normani, Dinah]
Write on me
Write on me
Write on me
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me
Love the way you tat me up
Write on me
[Verse 2: Ally]
You are my friend
Straight and no chaser
Burns going down
But it keeps me alive
Tell me the truth
I like the danger (Danger)

'Cause in the end
You will be mine

[Pre-Chorus: Camila]
Everything is gray until you draw me
Touching on my body like you know me

[Chorus: Lauren]
Write on me
Color outside the lines

Love the way you tat me up
Baby, take your time
Write on me
Gimme some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat me up
I'll never change my mind

[Post-Chorus: All]
Write on me
Write on me
Write on me
Write on me
[Bridge: Camila, All]
I could see a city sleep (Ooh)
I could see an ocean wave (Ooh)
Everything is changing (Ooh)
And it's written on my face (Ooh)
I could see a city sleep (Ooh)
I could see an ocean wave (Ooh)
Everything is changing (Ooh)
And it's written on my face (Ooh)

[Chorus: Lauren, Ally]
Write on me
Color outside the lines

Love the way you tat me up
Baby, take your time
Write on me
Gimme some wings, I'll fly
Love the way you tat me up
I'll never change my mind (Write on me)

[Post-Chorus: All, Dinah, Camila, Lauren]
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me (Write on me)
Write on me (Won't you write on me? Yeah)
Write on me
Love the way you tat me up
Write on me
[Outro: Normani, Lauren, Dinah]
Write on me
Write on me
Write on me

About

Genius Annotation

“Write On Me” is the second promo single from Fifth Harmony’s album 7/27, set to be released on May 27th, 2016. The lyrics contain imagery of drawing and writing as a metaphor for the effect that a romantic relationship could have on someone’s life.

The song matches an acoustic guitar with the kind of tropical house-inspired vibe that took over pop in 2015 and ’16. In fact, the track was co-produced by Kygo, the Norwegian DJ who helped make tropical house an international sensation. He’s joined by fellow Norwegians Stargate, the production and songwriting team known for their close collaboration with Rihanna.

What did Fifth Harmony say about "Write On Me"?
Genius Answer

“Write On Me” is lyrically my favorite song on the album. To me the song is an extended metaphor where you’re asking somebody to “write” on you, envelop you with their words, make their mark on you like you’re a blank canvas.
