Honestly
Jai Waetford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been wrong too many times, yeah
Love is a crime
Runnin' 'round like I'm blind
Searching for reasons
Looking for purpose, yeah
Been wrong too many times, yeah
Love is a crime
Been hiding behind my pride
'Cause I know this feeling
And baby you're worth it

'Cause honestly we both are getting old
And a part of me
Just wants to see this grow
Let me learn how to touch, kiss, caress you girl
Let me show you a love you never had before
All my love
I'll show you
All my love
I'll show you

Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and
I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby
Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and
I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby

Until forever dies
I find myself, all in your eyes
Got me hypnotised, falling deep
Ain't no surprise
See these other guys
They full of lies
They cold inside
We going clockwise
Sunrise to sunrise
'Till infinity, no divinity
In our synergy
Goosebumps, get a little hiccups
When you around, yeah
Just for tonight only
It's more than we

'Cause honestly we both are getting old
And a part of me
Just wants to see this grow
Let me learn how to touch, kiss, caress you girl
Let me show you a love you never had before
All my love
I'll show you
All my love
I'll show you

Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and
I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby
Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and
I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby

Letting go of all the things
That we used to hold
All of the things
That we used to know
All of these things for you (oh)

Letting go of all the things
That we used to hold
All of the things
That we used to know
All of these things for you (oh)

Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and
I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby
Everybody wanna know
Know now, man
Nobody wanna slow
Slow down, and




I just wanna take my time with you
Time with you baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jai Waetford's "Honestly" explore the theme of vulnerability and the struggle to find true love. The song begins with Jai reflecting on past experiences of being hurt in love, describing love as a "crime". He admits to searching for reasons and purpose but being blinded by his past experiences. However, he recognizes that his love interest is worth breaking down his guard for.


The chorus declares that both parties are getting old and it's time to take a chance on love. Jai expresses his desire to learn how to love in a deeper sense, to touch, kiss, and caress his love interest in a way she has never experienced before. He promises to show her all his love, and take his time with her, pushing back against the societal pressure to rush into love.


The bridge speaks of letting go of the past and holding onto the present with his love interest. He wants to slow down and take his time with her, creating a safe and comfortable space where they can explore their feelings together. The song ends on this note of wanting to hold onto the beauty of the present and not rushing into the future.
