Love Rush
54-40 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said: oh no
Girl
I wouldn't let it happen again
But i could feel my word just slippin' through the palm of his hand.
Just the sound of his voice
Oh
And i forget
About the price i've paid
It seems i've got no choice
Somewhere in my heart the decision's been made.
His love keeps gettin' stronger
But i think i could run if i tried.
Can't hold back much longer
Guess it looks like we're in for a ride.
Love get ready
Here i come
Keep my heartbeat steady till i know he's the one.
Love get ready
Here i come
Gonna catch me one more time!
I've heard all those lies and every way to say good-bye
But this heart of mine says he's not just another guy.
Then
With every term
It's better than the time before
I only know this much
Whatever it is
I've just gotta have more.
I can't keep my distance
I wouldn't do if i knew how
That doesn't make any difference
'cause i can tell you it's too late now!
Love get ready
Here i come
...
Somebody wake me and bring me to my senses
Somebody shake me
I'm losing my defences.
Love get ready
Here i come
...
Love get ready
Here i come
...
Go
Get yourself ready
I can't taim him 'cause i'm loving it now.
Just get yourself ready




Can't hold back
And i'm gonna let it get strong.
