Jhameel x DWNTWN x Giraffage team up for the music video for their single “Move Me”. The dreamy synth pop track gets an equally hazy ethereal visual feel. In the video, Jhameel and Jamie Leffler of DWNTWN long for each other with their soft sensual voices. The separation from each other is killing them. They just want to be together.

Lyrics to Move Me by Jhameel x DWNTWN x Giraffage

(DWNTWN)
i like the way that you move me
i like the way that you walk the line
i like the way that you move me
i need a man who can make me cry
(i need a girl who can make me die)

(Jhameel)
simple girl fell into the ground
while she saw the world
sigh
and i’m doin the same damn thing
hated by the only one that never was afraid if i
do what you wanted in the
middle of the night i kissed you on the hand
your body is a mortal sin
caught you in the morning
morning when you told me i’m afraid that you’ll be
sick of me
it’s better i leave

(chorus)

(Jhameel)
sad like a sideways bottle on my mind
gimme the time
gimme the chance
take the feelings of my chest
gimme the hope
i figured though
i need more
think of the things that you said
all the times i pushed you
face on my mind
similar eyes
gimme some time
similar ways i fake
similar thoughts i hate
methodical
a miracle
it’s sad to see
some of the thoughts aren’t me

(chorus)
