Rush
Katy Perry/Ferras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I floated so high
Your eyes looked at mine
The world froze in time
What is this feeling?
I am on cloud nine
Guess I'm still reeling from your body next to mine
Like you shot something crazy into my veins
And I'm ten feet off the ground
And I don't want to come down
Don't want to come down
I know you're sleeping
I wish you were right here
‘Cause my bed's so empty
I'd hold you so close dear
And I sang my song to you
Your smile was priceless
What else can I do?
I'm a junkie over you
It's a rush I can't explain
Like you shot something crazy into my veins
And I'm ten feet off the ground
And I don't want to come down
Is it me, or is everything spinning
I'm wide awake but I must be dreaming
It's like you're some kind of drug
Try to catch my breath
And see if I'm still breathing
Touch my heart and make sure it's beating
It's like I'm falling in love
It's a rush I can't explain
Like you shot something crazy into my veins
And I'm ten feet off the ground.
And I don't , no I don't, no, don't want to come down
Don't want to come down
Gonna come down
In the song "Rush," Katy Perry and Ferras team up to describe the overwhelming sensations and emotions that come with falling deeply in love with someone.

The second verse describes longing for the person again and the joy of holding them close. The bridge of the song introduces an unusual metaphor – the way that falling in love feels like being on some kind of drug. The lyrics describe the feeling of not wanting to come down from the high of infatuation and the physical sensations that accompany it.

I kissed your sweet lips
I passionately kissed you on the lips
I floated so high
I felt a euphoric sensation
Your eyes looked at mine
We made eye contact
The world froze in time
Everything seemed to pause
What is this feeling?
I am curious about this emotion
I am on cloud nine
I am extremely happy
Guess I'm still reeling from your body next to mine
I am still processing the intimacy we shared
It's a rush I can't explain
I feel a powerful sensation that I can't describe
Like you shot something crazy into my veins
I feel like you injected something intense into my bloodstream
And I'm ten feet off the ground
I feel elevated and excited
And I don't want to come down
I don't want this feeling to end
I know you're sleeping
I am aware that you are currently asleep
I wish you were right here
I desire your company
‘Cause my bed's so empty
I feel alone in my bed
I'd hold you so close dear
I would embrace you tightly
And I sang my song to you
I serenaded you with my music
Your smile was priceless
Your smile was precious and valuable
What else can I do?
I am unsure of what else to do
I'm a junkie over you
I am addicted to you and your love
Is it me, or is everything spinning
I feel dizzy and disoriented
I'm wide awake but I must be dreaming
I feel like I am dreaming even though I am awake
It's like you're some kind of drug
You have an intoxicating effect on me
Try to catch my breath
I am struggling to take deep breaths
And see if I'm still breathing
I am checking if I am still alive
Touch my heart and make sure it's beating
I want you to reassure me that my heart is still beating
It's like I'm falling in love
It feels like I am falling in love with you
Gonna come down
I am aware that eventually, this feeling will dissipate
