Worth It
Jackie Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did the butterflies go, go, go
We were the racing hearts, couldn't be torn apart
When did we turn into stone?
Oh, oh
We fall so fast, but we crash so slow
Oh, oh
But if we keep holding on
I know we'll get back to the surface
Cause it's worth it
If we keep holding on
I know that nobody's perfect
But we'll work it out
We were just ankle deep, water started to creep
There was no keeping it out, out, out
We were riding the waves, surviving all the breaks
We didn't think we could drown, drown, drown
And we tried to get it back but we're sinking down, down, down
But if we keep holding on
I know we'll get back to the surface
Cause it's worth it
If we keep holding on
I know that nobody's perfect
But we'll work it out
I don't know how long I can hold my breath for you
But I'm not letting go yet
Cause I'm not ready
No, I'm not ready to give up on us
We fall so fast but we crash so slow
Oh, oh
Oh
But if we keep holding on
I know we'll get back to the surface
Cause it's worth it
If we keep holding on
I know that nobody's perfect
But we'll work it out
Hold on, hold on
It's worth it
I know that nobody's perfect
But we'll work it out
The lyrics in Jackie Thomas's song "It's Worth It" speak to the experience of a relationship that has begun to lose its spark. The first stanza describes the beginning of the relationship, when everything felt perfect and the couple was on cloud nine. However, as time has passed, the initial excitement has faded and the couple is left wondering where the feelings they used to have have gone. They feel like they have turned to stone and have lost the connection they used to share.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that if the couple is willing to hold on and work through the difficulties, they will be able to get back to a place where the relationship feels worth it. The lyrics acknowledge that nobody is perfect, but that through communication and effort, the couple can find their way back to a good place. The second verse describes a situation where problems have entered the relationship, and the couple is struggling to keep their heads above water. The lyrics continue to emphasize the idea of holding on and working through the difficulties in order to find their way back to a better place. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the couple committing to keep trying.
Overall, the lyrics in "It's Worth It" are a reminder that every relationship has its ups and downs, and that it takes effort and communication to keep things on track. The song encourages listeners to hold on through the difficult times, because a deeper connection is possible if they are willing to put in the work.

If the sales are bad then the record company won't like it. No one usually pays attention to NZ music these days which is a shame. Being independent is probably going to pay off in the long run if you can produce music yourself. William Singe, a half kiwi R&B singer scored a $2M contract with RCA Records USA, should probably check him out.
