Hesitate
Jonas Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kiss the tears right off your face
Won't get scared, that's the old, old, old me
I'll be there, time and place
Lay it on me, all you're hold, hold, holding

Time, time only heals if we work through it now
I promise we'll figure this out
I will take your pain
And put it on my heart
I won't hesitate
Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you
You saved me once and now I'll save you too
I won't hesitate for you

Don't you ever say goodbye
Cross my heart, and you can keep, keep, keep mine
If I could only read your mind
Then I could map out all the ways to make it right

Time, time only heals if we work through it now
I, I promise we'll figure this out

I will take your pain
And put it on my heart
I won't hesitate
Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you
You saved me once and now I'll save you too
I won't hesitate for you

Pull me close and I'll hold you tight
Don't be scared 'cause I'm on your side
Know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
Pull me close and I'll hold you tight
Don't be scared 'cause I'm on your side
Know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you

I will take your pain
And put it on my heart
I won't hesitate
Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you




You saved me once and I'll save you too
I won't hesitate for you

"This is an important song. I wrote this song for my significant other, Sophie, and it's one of those love letter that you write to your partner saying you're there no matter what" - Joe on Hesitate

Taylor Ellis

Reem Ahmed

There was this one interview of Sophie with Dr. Phill where she was talking about her depression; and Joe was just standing by the cameras. When Dr. Phill asked her "what about your relationship?" she turned and asked Joe..and he just said "I'm confident." Then when she cried he looked like tearing up :") ❤❤❤

Anna Maria Abesa

Jess sseJ The moment I heard this song, I felt that powerful, loving, sweet, romantic, “i’m here for you” vibe from Joe ♥️♥️♥️

Kelsey Simpson

This is supposed to be Joe’s love letter to Sophie, but he didn’t have any part in writing it.

It was written by Justin Tranter, Kennedi Lykken, Mike Sabeth and Nick Jonas..
