Daniel Caesar "Get You" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

  • 0:00 - 0:05
    Was really broke, living
    with my girl at the time.
  • 0:05 - 0:10
    I'm still getting there, but sexually,
    the world was opening up.
  • 0:10 - 0:14
    It was just having a lot of
    sex all day, all the time.
  • 0:14 - 0:16
    There was nothing
    really else to do.
  • 0:22 - 0:27
    Kali UchisâŚ.She just reached out
    to me on Instagram.
  • 0:27 - 0:30
    I wrote the outro, âthis feels like summer,
    you make me feel so alive.â
  • 0:30 - 0:35
    I sent it to her and I asked her to put it
    at the end.
  • 0:35 - 0:40
    She liked the song, she sent over two verses,
    and they were both so good.
  • 0:41 - 0:44
    It was definitely the perfect sort of vibe
    energy for the song.
  • 1:12 - 1:16
    It was just, like in a religious song where
    it's pleading and thanking God
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    for whatever he's done for you, stuff like
    that.
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    It's that same sort of thing, just being thankful.
  • 1:22 - 1:26
    Especially in this time, now everything seems
    a little bit crazy.
  • 1:26 - 1:29
    It was just a reference to that.
  • 1:29 - 1:34
    We're in our own world, kind of locked away,
    doing our thing, and everything outside is crazy.
  • 1:54 - 1:57
    That's...just good pussy. Good lovin'.
  • 2:14 - 2:16
    I wrote the song in a self-reflective state,
  • 2:18 - 2:23
    so it was just looking back on my whole life,
    past relationships.
  • 2:23 - 2:29
    Not even just with other women, but just with
    people in general, the way I've been with myself
  • 2:29 - 2:36
    and maybe feeling like I didn't deserve to
    be feeling as good as I did at the time.
  • 3:32 - 3:35
    Deep down, I feel like I'm corny.
  • 3:35 - 3:42
    It's a very pretty, happy, not-too-complex
    song, but it's still very, it gives you the
  • 3:42 - 3:47
    screw face when the bass comes in and the
    kick pattern and all that.
  • 3:47 - 3:50
    I just feel like people aren't making love
    songs like that anymore.
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    I just wanted that, but sexy though.
