Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's sounds heavy
No, it's just, well,
I just wanted to tell you how
I feel about some stuff.
Your move
I said I love you
Look, I know you want
Your career to take off
Yeah, the last you need is some dude
But I know from experience
That this feeling is unusual
Yeah, time just isn't limitless
There are moments when you just have to
Let yourself go
Come on baby
It's three lousy words
Would it kill you to say how you feel?
Look, this ain't your job
You can show a little heart
You are not in some part in a film
Look, I know from experience
That these feelings just don't come and go
Look, life isn't all show business
There are moments when you just to
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let our thing grow
Listen, Jess. It's not the career stuff. It's you.
This just isn't working for me.
Maybe we should just be friends.
Your move
Weren't you just listening to me?
Now it's your turn to say how you feel
Jesus. Come on, Jess.
Look I know you want
Your career to take off
You're really not taking this in.
But I know from experience
That this feeling is unusual
Yeah, time just isn't limitless
There are moments when you just have to
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
I know you want to
Let yourself go
You know you want to
Let yourself go
I know I want to
Let yourself go
You know you want to
