## Lyrics

### Official Version

**Intro, MIA GLADSTONE**

Baby, you are so damn fine

Baby, you are so damn fine

**Hook, MIA GLADSTONE**

You are to me

Like water to trees

We are to be

Sweet harmony

It’s no pressure

It’s no pressure

I’ll send an open letter

To my lover

Meet me in the meadow

**Verse 1, Teezo Touchdown**

Ain’t that right there what’s her name?

Ain’t that right there what’s his name?

Shouldn’t they be flying private

I guess they a public thing

Uh huh, that’s not what I heard

I heard he a couple things (He’s the finest man alive)

You’ve got a checklist, I wanna check it

You got drive and I wanna wreck it

You got plans that I wanna invest in

I’m in the West End at the Westin

Come and do everything you been textin’

Everything is bigger in Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas

Everything is bigger in Texas

**Chorus, MIA GLADSTONE**

You’re so pretty it makes me dumb

Pull up with me

Vibrant one

Wrote your number on my ankle

Then you brushed it off

I just follow where the rain goes (oh, oh)

Come along

**Hook, MIA GLADSTONE**

You are to me

Like water to trees

We are to be

Sweet harmony

It’s no pressure

It’s no pressure

I’ll send an open letter

To my lover

Meet me in the meadow

**Verse 2, MIA GLADSTONE**

Don’t bring me to my downfall

Shed your walls

My serenity kisses me

And I wonder have you fallen under

Lust or another

Is it just me

Or can we agree

That sweet harmony

Is present between us

Our souls bend around the globe

Gold soul, one mold

**Verse 3, MIA GLADSTONE**

Binge on the love

I don’t wanna give it up

I don’t need another drug

I just wanna light you up

Trippin’ on a Wednesday

Tryna get the rent paid

Flip it to the next page

We could live it up

Taste like a cherry

Sweeter than a fairy

Highlight of the week

Higher than a peak

Givin’ all my time to you, you

Binge on the love

I don’t wanna give it up

I don’t need another drug

I just wanna light you up

**Outro, MIA GLADSTONE**

Baby, you are so damn fine, I

Baby, you are so damn fine, I

Walk all on me like a runway

Throw your boots on

You can ride me like a freeway

I won’t say none

I’d like you to use me

However you want

You can breathe right through me

I’ll be your lungs

### Alternate Version (Mia Gladstone vocals only)

**Intro**

Baby, baby, baby

You are so damn fine

Baby, baby, baby

You are so damn fine

**Hook**

You are to me

Like water to trees

We are to be

Sweet harmony

It’s no pressure, yeah

It’s no pressure

I’ll send an open letter

To my lover, yeah yeah

Meet me in the meadow

**Chorus**

You’re so pretty it makes me dumb

Pull up with me

Vibrant one

Wrote your number on my ankle

Then you brushed it off

I just follow where the rain goes (oh, oh)

Come along

**Verse 2**

Don’t bring me to my downfall

Shed your walls

My serenity kisses me

And I wonder have you fallen under

Lust or another

Is it just me

Or can we agree

That sweet harmony

Is present between us

Our souls bend around the globe

Gold soul, one mold

**Pre-Chorus**

You are to me

Like water to trees

We are to be

Sweet harmony

There’s no pressure

There’s no pressure

I’ll send an open letter

To my love bug, yeah yeah

Meet me in the meadow

**Bridge**

Baby

I’m ignited

I confided

In your silence

Now I feel freer

Than a bird

No words could change

How you say

Don’t make it different

Your resistance

Tells it all

**Verse 3**

Binge on the love

I don’t wanna give it up

I don’t need another drug

I just wanna light you up

Trippin’ on a Wednesday

Tryna get the rent paid

Flip it to the next page

We could live it up

Taste like a cherry

Sweeter than a fairy

Highlight of the week

Higher than a peak

Givin’ all my time to you, you

Binge on the love

I don’t wanna give it up

I don’t need another drug

I just wanna light you up

**Outro**

Baby, you are so damn fine, I

Baby, you are so damn fine, I

Walk all on me like a runway

Throw your boots on

You can ride me like a freeway

I won’t say none

I’d like you to use me

However you want

You can breathe right through me

Call me your lungs

I’ll be your lungs

I’ll be your lungs
