Rush
Devlin Miles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I poured my energy in
We gathered all our rocks
And began to drop them in
I felt a weight had been lifted
As my head began to spin
I could go anywhere
I could do anything
'Cause I get high
Every breath I take
When you're inside
The world can wait
And suddenly I feel like a kid again
Riding on the rides at Disneyland
Waiting for the train to race down the tracks
Ooo what a rush can't wait to come back
I reached for my music
But I gave you my soul
I called upon my body
But it wouldn't let you go
The final wall began to crumble
As I slowly released control
An I finally found
The piece the keeps me whole
'Cause I get high
Every breath I take
When you're inside
The world can wait
And suddenly I feel like a kid again
Riding on the rides at Disneyland
Waiting for the train to race down the tracks
Ooo what a rush can't wait to come back
Everything's much sweeter now
That we've taken hold
The days become brighter
Now that my heart is whole
The passion's been ignited
The fears have been quieted
I've been given another chance
And I won't let go
'Cause I get high
Every breath I take
When you're inside
The world can wait
And suddenly I feel like a kid again
Riding on the rides at Disneyland
Waiting for the train to race down the tracks
Ooo what a rush can't wait to come back
