Nice to Meet You Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
I was wandering up your street
And I was really hoping to meet ya
But your girlfriend gonna delete my number, gone
I was wondering how your weekend's been
You waking up or you sleeping in?
Your girlfriend's gonna be leaving soon or not?
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
What could ever go wrong?
Sing your favorite song
She could come along
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
What could ever go wrong?
Summer's never too long
Our love's too strong
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
[Verse 2: Dan Reynolds]
I was buying you those flowers
I was listening for hours
I was shutting up those doubters, ayy, yeah
Shе was jealous of our relationship
She hatеd that we were making it
She's smilin', but she faking it, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Praying that we make it through the weekend
Wind is in the sail, but we are sinkin'
Hammering a nail, and now we're leakin'
Ayy, yeah, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
Painting on the wall is something freaky
She been throwing punches like a T.K.O.
Knocking on the door and being sneaky
Get away, yeah (Oh yeah, yeah)
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya (Nice to meet ya)
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya (It's nice to meet)
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya (I hope to see ya)
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
She could be a Mona Lisa, should've seen her
[Outro: Dan Reynolds]
I hope we meet again, oh
Hey, it's nice to meet
I hope we meet again, oh (True believer)
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
I hope we meet again, oh
(It's nice to meet ya; to meet again; I hope to see ya)
I hope we meet again, oh (True believer; to meet again)
Anyway, it's nice to meet ya
Nice To Meet You Lyrics Explained

The narrator is trying to pursue a relationship with someone whose current girlfriend is a significant obstacle. The lyrics reveal the narrator’s frustration and desire, and despite the challenges, he expresses a persistent hope to connect with the person he admires. The song is a mix of optimism and realism, acknowledging the difficulties but also celebrating the moments of connection. It explores themes of love, jealousy, and perseverance, encapsulating the emotional rollercoaster that comes with navigating complex relationships.
[Verse 1]
The narrator starts by recounting an attempt to meet the person he's interested in. He was walking down their street, hoping for a chance encounter. However, the person's girlfriend intervenes, deleting his number, indicating she’s aware of his intentions and wants to prevent any interaction. The narrator is curious about the person’s weekend, whether they are awake or still sleeping, and subtly inquires if the girlfriend will be leaving soon, hoping for an opportunity to connect without interference.
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the narrator contemplates what could possibly go wrong if he spends time with the person he likes. He suggests singing their favorite song and imagines the girlfriend joining them, though this seems unlikely. He reflects on the brevity of summer and the strength of his feelings, implying that despite potential complications, their connection is worth pursuing.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the sentiment of finally meeting the person. Repeating "nice to meet ya" underscores the significance of the encounter and the narrator's pleasure in making this connection. It’s a simple yet powerful acknowledgment of the moment.
[Verse 2]

[Pre-Chorus]
The narrator expresses hope that their relationship can survive the weekend, despite feeling like they’re struggling ("wind is in the sail, but we are sinkin'"). He uses the metaphor of hammering a nail and causing a leak to describe the fragile state of their bond.
