I already know I’m letting go of something sacred
Drive us off the road, I take a good thing and I break it
Think it’s it my soul, the way I run from something real, no, I ain’t changing
Wish I could surrender, give you everything I got and let you know
It’s something ’bout the way you move me
Yeah, yeah
It’s something ’bout the way you save my life
Something ’bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest nights
Locked down my by side even when I’m borderline
Yeah, I don’t even know why I push you away
It’s something ’bout the way you
Call it what you want, I got a habit for destruction
Take all of your trust and then betray it like it’s nothing
Yeah, I think it’s in my soul, the way I run from something real and leave you wondering (Wondering)
Why I can’t surrender, give you everything I got and let you know
It’s something ’bout the way you move me
Yeah, yeah
It’s something ’bout the way you save my life
Something ’bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest night
Locked down my by side even when I’m borderline
Yeah, I don’t even know why I push you away
It’s something ’bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest night
Locked down by my side even when I’m borderline
Yeah, I don’t even know why I push you away (Push you away)
It’s something ’bout the way you, the way you
Way you move me
Way you move me
Yeah, yeah
Move me
The Power of Vulnerability in “Move Me”
In “Move Me,” Charli XCX explores the complexities of vulnerability and self-sabotage in relationships. The song’s protagonist admits to a pattern of pushing away love and breaking what feels sacred, even when she recognizes its value. Despite these struggles, there’s a powerful force—captured in the refrain “It’s something ’bout the way you move me”—that keeps her tethered to her partner. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing for surrender, paired with frustration at her own emotional barriers. Ultimately, the track highlights how love can be both a saving grace and a challenge, especially when grappling with internal battles.
