Rush
Jay-Jay Johanson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna rush you now
If you need sometime to think
I can wait another year
But I can't promise anything

I guess you have a reason girl
Let me try to understand
Maybe I'm not good enough
But I will do the best I can

I don't wanna rush you now
I don't wanna rush you now

Everybody's telling me
I should take a good advice
But I better let you know
It doesn't come as a surprise

I'm tryin' to get through to you
A conversation on the phone
I know it might sound silly but
After all I wish i'd known

I'm tryin' to get through to you
I'm tryin' to get through to you

Oh honey I just wanna let you know
That I, that I never, never gonna let you go
Honey come a little closer now
Come on, don't stop
Well I guess you feel the same way too

I know you're still in love with me
I can see it in your eyes
You say you have forgotten me
But I'm sure it's only lies

I don't wanna rush you now
If you need sometime to think
I can wait another year
But i can't promise anything





I don't wanna rush you now
I don't wanna rush you now
