If You’re Serious – The Chainsmokers


This is your life

When I will try to read your mind

But the way your hand fits into mine

I won’t second-guess it’s a sign

And if you’re serious

Then I’ll give you the illusion of feeling love

I’ll change your point of view till you feel enough

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

Give it some time

And I’ll try to remember my lines

Watch the way your plans turn into mine

To match the photo that’s stuck in my mind

And if you’re serious

Then I’ll give you the illusion of feeling love

I’ll change your point of view till you feel enough

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

(And if you’re serious)

(And if you’re serious)

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

If this is your life

Then all that matters lives in your mind

And the truth is up for you to define

I hope that you choose to be mine

And if you’re serious

Then I’ll give you the illusion of feeling love

I’ll change your point of view till you feel enough

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

(And if you’re serious)

(And if you’re serious)

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

(And if you’re serious)

(And if you’re serious)

You just gotta choose if you’re serious

Unpacking the Emotional Tension

“If You’re Serious” by The Chainsmokers dives into the complexities of commitment and vulnerability in a budding relationship. Through introspective lines and evocative imagery, the lyrics explore the hesitation that comes with opening up to someone new. The recurring question—”if you’re serious”—acts as both a challenge and an invitation, highlighting the uncertainty that often accompanies emotional intimacy. The song balances hope with caution, suggesting that love is as much about perception as it is about reality. Ultimately, it asks the listener to make a choice: to step forward genuinely or remain on the sidelines of affection.
