Off the Table Lyrics
Will I ever love the same way again? (Way again)
Will I ever love somebody like the way I did you?
Never thought you'd be so damn hard to replace
I swear it don't need to be this way
If I can't have you, is love completely off the table?
Do I sit this one out and wait for the next life? (Next life)
Am I too cold? Am I not nice?
Might not be quite yet healed already
Should I be goin' too steady? (Too steady)
But I just wanna know is love completеly off the table?
Will you be thеre? (Will you be there?)
Can I still love you? (Can I, can I, babe?)
Not yet healed already (Not ready)
Should I be goin' too steady? (Too steady)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table?
I'll wait for you
Even though it always feels like I'll be number two
To someone you can't hold anymore
If you let me in, I'm ready to give you what I couldn't before
'Cause I got you, girl, let me help you through it
You're trying to fill the void with a couple boys
I can see right through it (You can see right through it)
I can you love you harder than I did before
Was in a dark place back then
I was toxic, then I was toxic to someone else
I was haunted by the hills (Oh yeah, yeah)
I couldn't give you my all, but I will
If you let me in your arms (Your arms)
If you let me in your heart
I don't think that love's completely off the table
Will you be there? (Yes, I will be there for you)
Can I still love you? (Yes, I been hurt before, before)
Not yet healed already (Not ready)
Should I be goin' too steady? (Too steady, no, no)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table?
So can you hold me?
If I let you, can you prove it to me? (Oh, no-no, no)
'Cause I need you to calm me down, babe
Gotta get out of my head (Oh, woah)
Tryna be here from this bed (Oh)
Just wanna know, just wanna know, know, know, baby (Hey)
Can you touch it like you believe in it, baby? (Oh, hey)
Let me think you never gonna leave on me, baby
'Cause I ain't her and you ain't him, thankfully (Baby, don't leave)
But it's gon' be hard to let someone else in again (Woah)
Baby, baby (Woo-hoo)
Will you be there? (Will you be there? I'll still wait)
Can I still love you? (I'll still wait for you, babe, oh, no-no, no, can I still love you?)
Not yet healed already (Ooh, not ready)
Should I be goin' too steady? (No, no, ooh)
Just wanna know is love completely off the table, baby?
I swear, I swear
I will wait for you whenever you need
Ooh, ooh
This standout song off Ariana's latest album titled 'Positions' was produced by Mr. Franks, Shintaro Yasuda, Travis Sayles & TBHits. The track was released on October 30, 2020.
What the artist means Ariana is taking nothing for granted on this record with the heartbreak icon Weeknd. She's crooning about a breakup that left her super depressed because the dude is just so hard to replace, she's super hurt and lets us know on this record, she's using autotune expertly here to convey her hurt. Weeknd steps in and sing so tragically about a love tale gone wrong, he tried to help her through the phase but that ended up with her ending things with him. Now he's hunted by the hills, even though he couldn't give her his all, he's sad that she left him in the lurch. Ariana is crooning in the background about not being properly healed all through the process, she wants his memories to get out of her head but it's so dang hard. Weeknd knows this and he's crooning with equal pain as if he's drinking from the same stream of heartbreak as Ariana.
What the song means to me The song is the quintessential break-up track that sees both artists swap tales of love stories gone astray and they are cringing with the residue pain. Ariana gives one of her best vocal performances for ages but even that couldn't know Abel off his perch as his falsetto owned the track. This track reminds me of so much unfinished business and I'm oddly feeling the hurt that both artists are singing about. The track is that powerful. I will give this song a rating of 8/10.
