Jüri Pootsmann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting late and be that as it may
I turn to you I turn to you
We might seem so obvious to me
But not to you not to you

We ain't got all night
To find out what is right
So let's go undecided till we know
The only way to go
Is let your feelings show
See all your walls come down
And just hit

Play
'Cause that's the only way
To find out if it's love
That we're fallin' we're fallin' into

I didn't know what to do
But now I'm good as new
'Cause I'm stronger much stronger
With you

Some might say it's an ordinary day
But not for me not for me
If you feel your senses disagree
Bare with me bare with me

We ain't got all night
To find out what is right
So let's go undecided till we know
It's the only way to see
If we were meant to be
Let all your walls come down
And just hit

Play





Some might say it's an ordinary day
But not for me not for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Juri Pootsmann's song "Play" describe the apprehension and uncertainty one may feel as they navigate the start of a potential romance. The singer is acknowledging that the situation might seem clear to them internally, however, it may not be as apparent to the other person. They want to take a risk in finding out if they are a good match but do not want to waste time. The line "We ain't got all night" emphasizes the urgency and importance of this moment. The singer believes that playing and being open with one's feelings is the only way to truly determine if they are falling in love. They reflect on their own past struggles and insecurities but find reassurance and strength in the other person's presence.


The chorus "Play, 'cause that's the only way to find out if it's love that we're fallin' we're fallin' into" highlights that taking a chance on love and being vulnerable is worth it in the long run. The singer is no longer unsure and weak but "stronger much stronger" because of the connection they have formed with the other person. Even though some may view the situation as ordinary or uneventful, the singer sees it as significant and life-changing.
