Y/n's POV:

Adjusting the headphones on my head, I listen to the intro of the song. The distorted harmonies playing in before Ariana sings.

[Ariana]
Yeah

You know you're really something, yeah
How we get here so damn fast
Only you can tell me that
Baby, 'cause you know I'm coming back

You're making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that, again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track

I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly
But I don't mind

Tripping falling with no safety net
Girl it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head
Got me tripping, falling with no safety net

Her eyes, that had been closed, look over to me. Our gazes lock as I sing my verse.

[Y/n]
Let your guard down, girl
You know we came too far now, girl (Oh)
It's timе for you to play your part now
You know we hit that jewelry store and we gon' ball out

Ups and downs we had some fallouts
Put some ice on you girl let it thaw out
Girl, you're mine, it's safe to say
At the end of the day

She starts the chorus but I come in and out. Our eyes not once looking away.

[Ariana ; Y/n ; Both]
I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or fly

But I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't mind)

Mmm (Sheesh, woo)

Tripping falling with no safety net (yeah)
Girl, it must be something that you said (Something that you said,
said, ayy)
Is it real this time or is it in my head (In my head)
Got me tripping falling with no safety net

A musical pause plays through before Ariana comes in at the breakdown. 

Every time you feel some way, feel a way
Never let me run away, run away, my baby
Every time you feel some way, feel a way
Never let (Never let) me run away, run away

Girl you got me tripping falling with no safety net
Girl, it must be something that you said (Something that you said)
Is it real this time or is it in my head (Is it all in my head)
Got me tripping falling with no safety net

The music fades out before the recording light flicks off. 

Looking over, I see a single tear roll down Ariana's cheek and I'm quick to reach over and swipe it away. My hand cupping her cheek as I pull her closer and kiss her forehead. 

"You okay?" I ask, softly stroking her cheek with my thumb. 

Ariana nods, leaning forward to rest her head on my chest," it just made me a little emotional." 

She got emotional when we wrote it as well. Back in New York, after all those interviews, we spread out in her living room and went to work on the song. She said she wanted it to be on her album and that just motivated me even more. 

The both of us poured as much emotion into it as possible, letting our love and honesty craft the song. We kept the lyrics from each other until we got to LA. The second we go in the studio with our teams we exchanged lyrics and read them. Ariana teared up then as well.
