Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about skinny dipping. By Songfacts®.

Here, Sabrina Carpenter recounts an encounter with an ex in a coffee shop. The arguments that sabotaged their relationship are long gone and they both notice how grown up they are now. He suggests a restaurant they used to go, while Sabrina daydreams of skinny dipping together in the water under the bridge.

The meeting has re-ignited the flame the singer once held for the guy. Sabrina's fantasy of swimming nude with her former boyfriend makes this totally clear. Meanwhile, the use of the phrase, "water under the bridge," indicates she has disregarded the past events that turned their relationship sour and wants to start afresh. Sabrina said of the song, "One day we'll be older and see our past experiences with such fresh eyes that maybe the bad things won't feel so bad, and trust that life will lead us exactly where we're meant to be."

When Sabrina first bumps into her ex, they engage in a "minute of nonsensical chatter." You'll say, "Hi", I'll say, "Hi, how are you?" You'll say, "How's your family? How's your sister?" The line refers to Sabrina's second-oldest sister, Shannon Carpenter, who is a dancer and choreographer.
