Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Where do I begin?
Started off as friends
With a late-night text
That’s where friendship ends and lovers begin
[Pre-Chorus]
I got that (Uh) on my mind
I want that (Uh) all the time
Come put your love deep inside
Like that one time
[Chorus]
We got that Airbnb out in Joshua Tree
With a Polaroid picture of you going down on me
Getting lost in the heat out in Joshua Tree
Got you looking at that camera ’cause I love the memories
Memories, memories
Make a movie and delete it so nobody else can see
Making sweet memories
Got you looking at that camera ’cause I love the memories
[Drop]
Memories
Memories
[Verse 2]
Brushing neon hair
Off your perfect face
You are well aware
How to navigate and the rhythm it takes
[Chorus]
We got that Airbnb out in Joshua Tree
With a Polaroid picture of you going down on me
Getting lost in the heat out in Joshua Tree
Got you looking at that camera ’cause I love the memories
Memories, memories
Make a movie and delete it so nobody else can see
Making sweet (Yeah) memories (Oh)
Got you looking at that camera ’cause I love the memories
[Drop]
Memories
Airbnb out in Joshua Tree, Tree-Tree-Tree
Joshua Tree
[Bridge]
I got that (Uh) on my mind
I want that (Uh) all the time
For the rest of my life
[Chorus]
Memories (Memories), memories (Memories)
Make a movie and delete it so nobody else can see
Making sweet (Yeah) memories (Memories)
Got you looking at that camera ’cause I love the memories
[Outro]
We got that Airbnb out in Joshua Tree, Tree-Tree-Tree
Joshua Tree
Airbnb out in Joshua Tree, Tree-Tree-Tree
Joshua Tree
