Down To You
Jennifer Rush Lyrics

Tonight is the night
The singer is expressing the significance of the present moment.

Silence has taken it´s toll
The singer feels the negative effects of maintaining a quiet demeanor.

Don´t want to seem unkind
The singer wishes to avoid appearing rude or thoughtless.

But the stop and go system of love just ain´t right
The artist challenges the validity of a relationship that lacks stability.

Love calls but your heart won´t sit still
The artist acknowledges the presence of affection, but the recipient does not reciprocate with consistency.

Curtains fall on the way that you feel
The singer recognizes that the recipient's emotions are not easily explained or predictable.

I wanna know is this for real
The singer seeks clarification about the nature of the relationship.

You say there´s nothing you can do
The recipient claims powerlessness in the situation.

But you know that´s not true
The artist challenges the recipient's statement, implying that they have control over their actions and emotions.

´Cause it´s down to you

It all comes down to you

When the night is through

So here I am
The singer asserts their presence in the situation.

Time´s come for taking a stand
The singer declares that they must make a decision and take action.

No I can´t read your mind
The singer acknowledges their inability to understand the recipient's thoughts and feelings without communication.

So why don´t you lay it right down on the line
The artist urges the recipient to be honest and straightforward.

Under the gun and pushed to the wall
The artist emphasizes the pressure of the situation and the need for a decision.

When all´s said and done is the order too tall
The singer questions whether the demands and requirements of the relationship are too much to bear.

You´ll never know ´til you let go and fall
The singer suggests that taking a risk may be necessary to determine the potential of the relationship.

Does it mean enough to you
The artist questions the recipient's commitment and investment in the relationship.

That you need my love too
The artist expresses their desire for mutual affection and support.

Does your heart starts to run

The closer my love gets to you

Someday you´ll meet someone

But I´ve done everything I can do

Down to you, down to you

Hey it´s down to you
