IF THE WORLD
Josh Levi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we slow down?
It's easier to see all of me
When your phone's down
Tell me where do you go, when you're alone
And the lights out?
I'm just tryna find out
I'm just tryna find out
If you're falling backwards
Fading slowly
Baby would you trust me?
With your heart
If it's dark and you're lost and you're lonely
Baby would you find me?
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall in love?
And it keeps on turning
But what if we make it stop?
If it all ends tomorrow, oh no
I don't care if I'm where you are
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall?
Tell me all your secrets
Tell me what you're scared of
I won't tell a soul
No, I won't tell no one
I'll be your home when you're homeless
Will you be your hope when I'm hopeless?
And if we're out in the open
Baby would you trust me?
Would you trust me?
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall in love?
And it keeps on turning
But what if we make it stop?
If it all ends tomorrow, oh no
I don't care if I'm where you are
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall?
If the world... yeah
What you say, what you say, what you sayin to me?
What you say, what you say, what you sayin yeah
What you say, what you say, what you sayin to me?
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall in love?
And it keeps on turning
But what if we make it stop?
If it all ends tomorrow, oh no
I don't care if I'm where you are
If the world is burning
Then why don't we fall?
Josh Levi's song "If The World" is a heartfelt plea for connection in a world that seems to be moving too quickly for us to keep up. He creates a dichotomy between the anxiety that comes with being constantly connected to technology and the deep desire for human connection that we all share. In the first verse, Levi asks if we can slow down and put our phones down so we can truly recognize and understand the people in front of us. He then asks the listener to share their deepest secrets with him, creating a space of trust and vulnerability. The chorus then poses the question, "If the world is burning, then why don't we fall in love?" Levi is suggesting that the chaos of the world should motivate us to make meaningful connections and build lasting relationships with one another. He concludes the song by repeating this question and urging the listener to take a chance on love despite the uncertainty of the world.
In many ways, "If The World" is an anthem for our time. The pervasive role of technology in our lives has left many of us feeling disconnected from our own experiences and from one another. Levi's song challenges us to break out of that cycle and to seek true human connection, even in the face of uncertainty and chaos. The song's catchy, upbeat melody and Levi's powerful vocals make it an instant earworm, but its message is what truly sets it apart.

A vida está indo muito rápido
Podemos desacelerar?
É mais fácil me ver por inteiro
Quando seu telefone está desligado
Diga-me onde você vai, quando está sozinho
E as luzes apagadas?
Só estou tentando descobrir
Só estou tentando descobrir
Sim
Se você está caindo para trás
Desaparecendo lentamente
Baby, você confiaria em mim?
Com seu coração
Se está escuro e você está perdido e sozinho
Baby, você me encontraria?
Se o mundo está queimando
Então por que não nos apaixonamos?
E continua girando
Mas e se fizermos isso parar?
Se tudo acabar amanhã, oh não
Eu não me importo se estou onde você está
Se o mundo está queimando
Então por que não caímos?
Me conte todos os seus segredos
Me diga do que você está com medo
Não vou contar a ninguém
Não vou contar a ninguém
Eu serei sua casa quando você estiver sem teto
Você será sua esperança quando eu não tiver esperança?
E se estivermos abertos
Baby, você confiaria em mim?
Você confiaria em mim?
Se o mundo está queimando
Então por que não nos apaixonamos?
E continua girando
Mas e se fizermos isso parar?
Se tudo acabar amanhã, oh não
Eu não me importo se estou onde você está
Se o mundo está queimando
Então por que não caímos?
O que você diz, o que você diz, o que você está dizendo para mim?

Thank you for creating music that is filled with emotion, music that makes people feel your words through their veins. The type of music that just makes you feel like you are in another world, it makes you feel peace and makes you want to dance on top of rooftops until the stars come out. This song makes me feel understood and that may sound weird but I feel this song in my heart. Thank you once again for continuing to create music, and I hope one day I’ll get to meet you in person and tell you how much your music means to me. 🌎
