Verse 1
Top off the Lamb, drive me crazy
So keep me here from the deep please
Nothing compares, drive me crazy
Both got no cares with us lately
In this verse, the narrator sets the scene with a flashy image of driving a luxurious car, which symbolizes a carefree lifestyle. However, there's a deeper layer of vulnerability. He’s asking to be kept from falling too deep into feelings, hinting at past pain. The repetition of “drive me crazy” shows the push and pull of emotions he’s dealing with, there's excitement, but also chaos in their connection.
Chorus
Took way too long to tell me you were ready
Was nice to know you, but I'm off it
Don't come back around just to tease me
Don't come around to drive me crazy
The chorus captures the essence of frustration with the other person’s indecisiveness. He feels like he was kept in limbo for too long. The line “but I'm off it” is powerful, it signifies his determination to move forward. He’s done with the games and doesn’t want them to come back just to mess with his head again. It’s an empowering declaration of self-worth.
Verse 2
I'm way too nice, all the time
You take me for granted, know you wanna ride
By my side, every night
Where were you when the whole city had to pick a side?
In this verse, the narrator reflects on his kindness, which the other person has taken for granted. He’s realizing that they only want to be around when it suits them. The line about the city picking sides suggests a bigger context, maybe a conflict or a decision that reflects how relationships can become complicated. It emphasizes the feeling of being left alone when it mattered.
Chorus
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) those days are gone
You had your chance, let me move on
(Yeah) don't come around, don't waste my time
You're lost, unfound
Here, the repetition of “those days are gone” reinforces his decision to leave the past behind. It's a clear message that he’s done waiting. He’s telling the other person they’ve lost their shot, and his time is valuable. The idea of being “lost, unfound” suggests that they might be searching for him now, but he’s moved on.
Bridge
Baby, tell me why you ain't fuck with me before
Now you love me (yeah), you see these diamonds on the floor?
Take them, bitch, you, I-I-I can get some more
More, more
The bridge shows the narrator confronting the other person directly. He questions their sudden affection, pointing out their earlier disinterest. The mention of diamonds symbolizes his worth and success, suggesting he doesn’t need anyone else to validate him. It’s a moment of confidence, almost dismissing their newfound interest as shallow.
Chorus
Took way too long to tell me you were ready
Was nice to know you, but I'm off it
Don't come back around just to tease me
Don't come around to drive me crazy
Repeating the chorus highlights the ongoing theme of frustration and determination. He’s still firm in his stance that he won’t fall for the same tricks again. It serves as a reminder of his journey from uncertainty to self-assurance, making it clear he’s not looking back.

Nothing compares, drive me crazy
Both got no cares with us lately
Took way too long to tell me you were ready
Was nice to know you, but I'm off it
Don't come back around just to tease me
Don't come around to drive me crazy
