Ready To Love You
Hedegaard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why'd you gotta go and do that?
Steal my heart up in a whiplash
I didn't know I could be kissed like that, no
It was 2 A.M on Melrose
We were drunk and talking too close
Could've sworn that I saw you fall, oh

I know that it's hard to give up your cards
And show me what's underneath
We've all got our scars over our hearts
But that ain't gonna make me leave
'Cause right now I'm ready to love you
Right now I'm ready to love you
We could put this thing to bed
We could get out of our heads 'cause
Right now I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you

Yeah, we've all got our history
But tonight's not a mystery
It's whatever we want it to be, oh
'Cause I can't handle the pressure
And I could kiss for forever
Stick around and make it in your seat

I know that it's hard to give up your cards
And show me what's underneath
We've all got our scars over our hearts
But that ain't gon' make me leave
'Cause right now I'm ready to love you
Right now I'm ready to love you
We could put this thing to bed
We could get out of our heads 'cause
Right now I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready to love you

What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I'm ready to love you
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to love you
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to love you





Right now I'm ready to love you
Right now I'm ready to love you
