In this track, Usher delves into the complexities of casual relationships and the blurred lines between emotional connection and physical desire. The lyrics reveal a mutual understanding between two individuals who engage in a no-strings-attached affair. Usher acknowledges that while their interactions are intimate, they lack deeper meaning and commitment. The song captures the duality of seeking fulfillment through fleeting moments while maintaining independence. He candidly addresses the reality of modern relationships where emotional detachment is often necessary to protect oneself from vulnerability. Ultimately, "Downtime" portrays a raw and honest depiction of navigating temporary connections in an era where genuine intimacy is often elusive.
Downtime
Lyrics
Everything you do is everything I know
No need to pretend, we both know what you want
Say you gotta good thing, he don't have to know
Everything you and I do, only I know it
We could make this easy
I know you don't need me
This ain't that kind of thing
It's more of a fling
That's why when you leave
Not the only one coming through, no
Don't act like this body yours
What I do on my downtime
Is what I do on my downtime (that's everything I know)
We connect, but we wanna feel
That shit don't have no meaning
But what you do in your downtime is
What you do in your downtime is
That's everything I know
Girl that's everything I know
Yeah, yeah, that's everything I know
That's the only thing I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Left the country just to spend the weekend here to fuck me
Water's not the only thing that's comin'
All your friends are callin'
You like, "OMG your such and such is lucky"
It's touchin' my soul
But little does anyone know, yeah
I've been workin'
I ain't perfect
I don't need you to tell me, "It's yours"
Know what it is I adore
And somethin' about it inspires me to hit it more
You told me you comin', well shit I'll just buzz you in
Keys are still under the mat by the door
Ignore the mess
My crib ain't the cleanest
From company I had the evening before, yeah
I ain't the only one comin' through, no
Don't act like it's not you
What I do on my downtime
What I do on my downtime
We connect, we wanna feel
That shit don't come at me no
But what you do in your downtime is
And what you do in your downtime is
That's everything I know
Girl that's everything I know
Yeah, yeah, that's everything I know
That's the only thing I know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
