WASH Lyrics Meaning | Jon Bellion
“Let it wash over me
Treat your body like a river and (let it wash over me)
See you coming at me like a wave and (let it wash over me)
Touch me 12 ways, stars on the lake look like a million diamonds
Let it wash all over me”
Jon Bellion starts with something deeply sensual, but poetic. He’s not just talking about touch—he’s talking about being completely immersed in someone else’s energy. Her presence hits him like water: cleansing, overwhelming, and calming all at once. The imagery of stars reflecting on the lake feels magical—like even the smallest physical moments are lit up with beauty when he’s with her. There’s surrender here, and that surrender feels sacred.
“Left eye waterfall, you see me from a third eye point of view
Oasis in my arms, my wonder wall
You fit me, fit me right, you fit me, fit me right
I, I, I, I”
This part is intimate on a soul level. He’s saying she sees him deeper than anyone else can—through pain (“Left eye waterfall”) and with spiritual clarity (“third eye point of view”). She’s his peace and mystery, his “wonder wall,” a reference that nods to longing and emotional connection. The repeated “you fit me right” shows he’s found someone who matches him perfectly—not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
“I don’t need a star, your face is like a full-blown universe
I’m always gonna dive in where you are
You fit me, fit me right, you fit me, fit me right
I, I, I, I”
Jon Bellion’s love here feels cosmic. Her beauty and essence are bigger than dreams or symbols—she is the universe to him. He doesn’t need outside validation or grand gestures; he just needs her. And again, that repetition of “you fit me right” brings it back to that sense of completeness—he’s found home in her, and he’s diving in without hesitation.
“Lay your grace on me
Hallelu-, you amaze me
When she walks away
That’s my baby (sheesh)”
This feels like worship. Jon’s in awe of her grace, her presence, the way she moves. That little “Hallelu-” says everything—it’s part praise, part stunned silence. And the casual “sheesh” grounds it back into real emotion, like he’s still trying to catch his breath just thinking about her. There’s reverence here, wrapped in everyday language.
“Let it wash, let it wash all over me
Let it wash, let it wash all over me”
This simple phrase becomes a mantra. He’s allowing love, emotion, connection—whatever she brings—to fully engulf him. It’s cleansing, it’s intense, and it’s healing. The repetition feels like meditation or prayer. Let it all in. Let it stay.
“Left eye waterfall, you see me from a third eye point of view
Oasis in my arms
Let it wash, let it wash all over me”
These lines return with deeper resonance. She sees him truly—his vulnerability, his inner storms—and yet she remains his peace. His arms become a safe place not just for her, but for him too. Together, they are both sanctuary and surrender.
“Treat your body like a river and (let it wash over me)
See you coming at me like a wave and (let it wash over me)
Touch me 12 ways, stars on the lake look like a million diamonds
Let it wash all over me”
By now, this imagery feels even more powerful. The river, the wave—it’s not just metaphor anymore. It’s about emotional connection, passion, and how fully someone can move through another person’s life. Jon Bellion lets himself be moved, undone, and rebuilt by this love. And he’s asking for nothing less than everything.
