## Lyrics

**[Chorus: Ava Max & Witt Lowry]**

I'm out of my head, out of my mind, oh, I

If you let me, I'll be

Out of my dress and into your arms tonight

Yeah, I'm lost without it

Feels like I'm always waitin'

I need you to come get me

Out of my head, and into your arms tonight

Tonight (yeah)

**[Verse 1: Witt Lowry]**

I don't mean to make you wait, just the pressure's been gettin' heavy

I know if I fuck us up, we'll be over, done, you'll forget me

Forget me, I'm feelin' bad that I act this way, 'cause you let me

They call me king, but I know my queen will be there to check me

Last year, was runnin' 'round 45th lookin' for SoHo

Last night, was ridin' down Rodeo lookin' for no ho

It's crazy what can change in a year, think that you know though

Go back and forth like a yo-yo, they live their life for the photos

They see me, I'm actin' solo, 'cause I'm afraid to commit

Now can you tell me how I'm different than him, and him, and him?

Yeah, I know I'm always questionin' things, like, girl

Would you say that love cannot be found inside a vow or a ring?

She laughs and says, "Only material things"

Those are material things, imagine buyin' all my trust with a ring

Imagine spendin' all my love on a fling, got a thing for you

If I had the talent you had, I probably would sing for you, like

**[Chorus: Ava Max & Witt Lowry]**

I'm out of my head, out of my mind, oh, I

If you let me, I'll be

Out of my dress and into your arms tonight

Yeah, I'm lost without it

Feels like I'm always waitin'

I need you to come get me

Out of my head, and into your arms tonight

Tonight (yeah)

*[Verse 2: Witt Lowry]*

I don't mean to make you wait, or to contemplate about us

My ex, she loved to lie, guess that's why it's harder to trust

I been searchin' to find myself and not get too lost into lust

I heard once that you can try but can't fill from an empty cup

That's no lie, and all I ever say is how I need time

If it was up to you now, you would be mine

I'm on the road more than I'm home and still I find it's only you on my mind

The last three were Gemini, I take that shit as a sign, it's funny

You can't buy time with your money

And you love goin' to the beach whether it's cloudy or sunny

And you love drinkin' all your wine until it hurts in your tummy

You call me, "Honey, I'm tipsy, and really all I want is for you to love me"

Flashbacks to backroads drivin' back to my side of state

I know I need to tell you I care before it's too late

Before someone steps to the plate, before you decide not to wait

Before you decide not to chase, then you call me up, just to say

**[Chorus: Ava Max]**

I'm out of my head, out of my mind, oh, I

If you let me, I'll be

Out of my dress and into your arms tonight (oh, baby)

Yeah, I'm lost without it

Feels like I'm always waitin'

I need you to come get me (ohhh)

Out of my head, and into your arms tonight

Tonight (yeah, yeah)

## Music video

The music video, directed by Bobby Hanaford, was released on June 21, 2018. It takes place at the site of a fatal car accident caused by Lowry's character in which he drove into a tree, killing Max who was sitting in the front passenger seat. However she is seen singing outside of the car, standing in the middle of street when Lowry wake up, presumably as a ghost or hallucination. He then joins her and they sing the song while paramedics are running back and forth from the car trying to rescue Max. The video ends with her being taken away in an ambulance and Lowry being confronted by the police.
