[Verse 1]
Yeah
On a plane overlookin’ the ocean
Lately, I’m just tryna live in the moment
Certain people I needed just couldn’t stick around
If they ain’t see the vision, I bet they feel …
[Verse 1]
He just wanna be recognized by the OGs
And spray paint in the alleyway while he smokes weed
Middle finger up like, “Fuck the judge and the police”
Runnin’ through the streets …
[Verse 1]
Yeah
It’s been a while since I spoke to you, everything seems different now
I’m tryna focus, you’ve been out of frame, but it’s crazy how I see the picture now
It’s …
[Intro]
All these days I’m thinking of you
You’re leaving me behind
I’ll put it all behind
Just to be close to you
[Pre-Hook]
Everybody knows you don’t feel how I feel about you, girl
Everybody knows …
[Verse 1]
Yeah, you said you need some assurance, I wrote this song for you
I’ve been stressin’ and I don’t know how to talk to you
I’ve been dealin’ with pressure, our …
[Verse 1]
Know I’ve done wrong
I left your heart torn
Is that what devils do? 1
Took you so low
Where only fools go
I shook the angel in you 2
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m rising from the ground
Rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I found
There’s nothing I can’t do! 3
[Chorus]
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?
Can you love me again? 4
[Verse 2]
It’s unforgivable
I stole and burnt your soul
Is that what demons do? 5
They rule the worst of me
Destroy everything
They bring down angels like you 6
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]
Bridge]
I told you once again
Do this again, do this again oh lord
I told you once again
Do this again, do this again oh no 7
[Chorus]
0John Newman starts by showing the state of his mind, that of one torn by anguish to a perceived wrong doing, such that he asks if he could be the devil himself.
He sings that this girl was so good but through his actions he pushed her through so much hurt that it caused her to change.
John shows here that even at her lowest, she is still better than him and she seems to be helping him up. At this point he has cast away his evil tendencies enough for him to consider himself worthy of her love again.
He is asking if there is still some redemption for him and if she can accept his hand once again. He seems ready to anything and everything that she will ask to get back in her good graces.
John considers himself to be beyond redemption because of the anguish he caused her, his actions by reflection, make him think of himself as a demon as it is hard to imagine how another human being can hurt another so bad.
John believes that he is possessed by these demons, which cause him to act in ways that he otherwise wouldn’t. He could have cheated on her, abused her, lied to her or other such actions that can break a relationship.
John’s lamentations are further noted in these lines as he begs the good lord to let him be loved again by his angel. This shows his deep remorse of whatever he had done.
