Don't You Worry
Edward & Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This isn't working out
I never wanted it to be this serious
And now you're at my house
And all I know is that I'm not okay with this
You're moving in
I'm freaking out
This just is a lot to think about
Should I drop the hint
Or should I stick it out
Or maybe I should just wait a while
I think that we should take a break
So let's slow down before it's too late
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
I just need space if you don't mind
I just need space if you don't mind
Why we gotta move so fast
It's only been a couple months
I haven't even said I love you yet
Why you wanna do it here
This motel room smells like old throw up and cigarettes
You kill me slow
Just thought that you should know
I promise I don't mean to be cold
You had me sold
But you're fool's gold
I think that we should take a break
So let's slow down before it's too late
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
I just need space if you don't
Why am I always the bad guy
I wish you'd look on the bright side
I think that we should take a break
I think that we should take a break
So let's slow down before it's too late
Cause I don't wanna cross that line
I just need space if you don't mind




I just need space if you don't mind
I just need space if you don't mind
