5 For Ya
Emily Krueger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's okay, don't have to be in such a hurry
Boy, you know I feel it all over my body
It ain't wrong but maybe we got in too early

Hard to take it slow 'cause love is so impatient
Starvin' for your love so bad that I can taste it
Just stay focused on how good it's gonna make it
Before you know it

I'll be on my way
Makin' up some time for ya (time for ya)
I'll be M.I.A.
Workin' on my mind for ya
I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya
I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya

Oh, I don't wanna miss out on you
But I got too much shit to do
Before we could do what we could do
'Cause we're goin' through
Different places in life, states of our mind
Maybe this ain't the time
But I know we'll have a time

I'll be on my way
Makin' up some time for ya (time for ya)
I'll be M.I.A.
Workin' on my mind for ya
I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya
I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya

Turn my head down, on the way down
Do all the things we talked about
Do it 'til you're screamin' out
'Cause we been holdin' out for eight months
Felt harder for the first one
There's much more where that came from
So, spend it round, round
Get me on top
Honey oh, no, no, no, I know what to do with it
Put it on lock, baby, I'll take-take-take my time for the thrill of it
No it won't be long before you're mine, all mine
So don't go movin' on before you know it, Baby

I'll be on my way
Makin' up some time for ya
I'll be M.I.A
Workin' on my mind for ya

I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya
I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Emily Krueger's "5 For Ya" talk about being patient in love and the struggles of balancing a busy life with a desire for romance. The first verse acknowledges the impatience that comes with love and the difficulty of taking things slow. The singer admits to hungering for love so badly she can taste it. But she reminds her partner that it's okay to not rush, and perhaps they got together too early.

The chorus tells us that the singer will be making time for her partner, even if it means working hard to get there. She'll be driving down the 5, referring to the highway that runs from San Francisco to Los Angeles, a significant distance to travel for love. The second verse acknowledges that the couple may be in different places in life, but assures them that they will have their time together.

The bridge seems more sexually charged, with the singer suggesting that they'll do all the things they've talked about and keep doing it until they're screaming out. She's been holding out for eight months, suggesting that the couple has been in a long-distance relationship. The chorus repeats, reinforcing the idea that the singer will do whatever it takes to be with her partner.

It's okay, don't have to be in such a hurry
No need to rush, take it easy

Boy, you know I feel it all over my body
There's a strong physical attraction between us

It ain't wrong but maybe we got in too early
Our timing might not be perfect

Hard to take it slow 'cause love is so impatient
Falling in love can make it hard to wait

Starvin' for your love so bad that I can taste it
Craving your love intensely

Just stay focused on how good it's gonna make it
Think about the positive outcome

Before you know it, I'll be on my way
I'll be coming to you soon

Makin' up some time for ya (time for ya)
Making up for lost time with you

I'll be M.I.A. Workin' on my mind for ya
I'll be taking some time for myself to get ready for our relationship

I'll be drivin' down the 5 for ya
I'll be willing to travel to be with you

Oh, I don't wanna miss out on you
I don't want to lose the opportunity to be with you

But I got too much shit to do
I have a lot of responsibilities to take care of first

Before we could do what we could do
Before we can start our relationship

'Cause we're goin' through different places in life, states of our mind
We're in different stages of life and mindset

Maybe this ain't the time
Maybe it's not the perfect timing yet

But I know we'll have a time
But I'm confident that we'll have our chance

Turn my head down, on the way down
Keeping a low profile on our way to each other

Do all the things we talked about
Engaging in all the activities we planned to do together

Do it 'til you're screamin' out
Keep doing it until it's mind-blowing

'Cause we been holdin' out for eight months
We've been waiting for this for a long time

Felt harder for the first one
The first step is always the hardest

There's much more where that came from
We have a lot more to explore together

So, spend it round, round
Let's have some fun

Get me on top
Let me take charge

Honey oh, no, no, no, I know what to do with it
I'm confident in my abilities to satisfy you

Put it on lock, baby, I'll take-take-take my time for the thrill of it
Let's take our time to enjoy our intimacy

No it won't be long before you're mine, all mine
I won't have to wait much longer to have you for myself

So don't go movin' on before you know it, Baby
Don't give up on us so easily
