Ready For Love
JAX feat. Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away
Inside you the time moves
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away
Stars come down in you
And love, you can't give it away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love is only heaven away
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The song "Ready for Love" by JAX feat. Alex is a beautiful and emotional ballad about longing, love, and the passage of time. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is willing to do anything for the person he loves, even if it means breaking the rules. The first line, "A man in my shoes runs a light" suggests that this man is willing to take risks just to be with his love, even if it means getting into trouble. The following line, "And all the papers lied tonight" implies that society has twisted the truth about their relationship, perhaps suggesting that they are not accepted as a couple by others.
The chorus, with the lines "Angels fall like rain" and "love is only heaven away" depicts a sense of hopelessness and yearning for something more. The singer feels as though their love is unattainable and they can only dream of being together. The lines "Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade, the ghost in you she don't fade" suggest that this person's love will endure and never fade away, even as time passes.
The verses talk of the passion and desperation that this man feels for his love. He is willing to take on the world, even if it means being alone with his love. The lines, "Stars come down in you, and love, you can't give it away" talk about how his love is precious and cannot be given to just anyone. He and his love are meant to be together, and nothing will stop them from being so.
