[Verse 1]
You don't know what's in store
But you know what you're here for
Close your eyes, lay yourself beside me
Hold tight for this ride
We don't need no protection
Come alone, we don't need attention

Open your hand, take a glass
Don't be scared, I'm right here
Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for this
[Verse 2]
Take it off, you want it off
Cause I know what you're feeling
It's okay, girl, I feel it too
Let it be, baby breathe
I swear I'm right here
We'll be good, I promise, we'll be so good
[Hook]
Open your hand, take a glass

Even though, you don't roll
Trust me girl, you wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this
You wanna be high for this...

Open your hands to receive the pills.
Take a glass of drink/water to help you
swallow the pills. ‘’ don’t be scared’’ he
wants her to enjoy it and not to worry
about taking ecstasy and what effects
it has. ‘’ roll’’ could mean ecstasy, so he
is even though you normally don’t take
ecstasy. ‘’you wanna be high for this’’
ecstasy makes the body sensitive, so
he’s reassuring her that she wants to
do it and it’s a good thing.
