Rush
Lewis Capaldi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has grown too much for me to block it out
I miss the tone of your heartbeat
It's such a warming and familiar sound
I hope you're finding the power
To help you make it through the darker days
For now, I wait by the hour
If you wanna take somebody's breath away
I hope you're lonely, hope you're lost 'cause I've been
I'd hate to think you're better off without me
I know we tried to hold on
But where do you go
When love, it just ain't enough?
Now does it kill you when you think about me?
Were you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
I don't come close to an angel
You ain't never been no kind of saint
But when we both came together
Hell to heaven, you were my escape
But fires don't burn forever
And all these ashes crumble when we touch
We danced to death in the fire
What can we do now that the music's done, my love?
I hope you're lonely, hope you're lost 'cause I've been
I'd hate to think you're better off without me
I know we tried to hold on
But where do you go
When love, it just ain't enough?
Now, does it kill you when you think about me?
Were you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
But I hope you find whatever you were looking for
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
Lost in the rush
But I pray you don't hurt too much
I hope you're lonely, hope you're lost 'cause I've been
I'd hate to think you're better off without me
I know we tried to hold on
But where do you go
When love, it just ain't enough?
Now, does it kill you when you think about me?
Are you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
But I hope you find whatever you were looking for
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
Lost in the rush
But I pray you don't hurt too much
The opening lines of ‘Rush’ speaks on the separation between two people that have grown too far apart for the singer to deny its existence anymore. The singer here laments the loss of intimacy, particularly the familiarity of their partner’s heartbeat. He/she hopes that the other person will find the strength to navigate these tough times, while admitting that they, themselves, have been struggling. The chorus of the song paints a picture of two people desperate to hold on to a love that is slowly dissipating. The singer admits that he/she is in pain and loneliness and hopes the other person is feeling the same despair.
The second verse echoes similar sentiments, with the singer questioning if the other person has felt as close to giving up as they have. The lyrics “we kept losing touch, got lost in the rush” denotes the fast-paced nature of life and how it can cause a relationship to fade. The bridge of the song brings up past memories and how the couple had something special before it burned out. The song concludes with the singer hoping the other person finds the happiness they were looking for, even if it's without them.
Line by Line Meaning
The space between where our ends meet
Has grown too much for me to block it out
The emotional distance between us has become overwhelming and I can no longer ignore it.
I miss the tone of your heartbeat
It's such a warming and familiar sound
I long for the comfort and familiarity of being close to you, hearing the rhythm of your heart.
I hope you're finding the power
To help you make it through the darker days
For now, I wait by the hour
If you wanna take somebody's breath away
I wish you strength to keep going during difficult times, but I am still here waiting for you if you want to be with me again.
I hope you're lonely, hope you're lost 'cause I've been
I'd hate to think you're better off without me
I know we tried to hold on
But where do you go
When love, it just ain't enough?
Now does it kill you when you think about me?
Were you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
I am struggling without you and I hope you are too, but I don't want to believe that you're doing better without me. Despite our efforts, we couldn't make our love work and lost touch in the chaos of it all. I worry about how much the memories we shared hurt you now.
I don't come close to an angel
You ain't never been no kind of saint
But when we both came together
Hell to heaven, you were my escape
But fires don't burn forever
And all these ashes crumble when we touch
We danced to death in the fire
What can we do now that the music's done, my love?
Neither of us individually are perfect, but together we were able to escape from our demons. However, flames eventually burn out and we were left with the remains of our relationship. Our passion and intensity eventually destroyed us, and now that it's over, what do we do?
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
But I hope you find whatever you were looking for
Lost in the rush
But I pray you don't hurt too much
We had a wonderful thing but couldn't hold onto it. Despite everything, I hope you are able to find happiness and that the pain of our relationship doesn't weigh too heavily on you.

Verse 1: Lewis Capaldi]
The space between where our ends meet
Has grown too much for me to block it out
I miss the tone of your heartbeat
It's such a warming and familiar sound
I hope you're finding the power
To help you make it through the darker days
For now, I wait by the hour
If you wanna take somebody’s breath away
[Chorus: Lewis Capaldi]
I hope you’re lonely, hope you’re lost 'cause I've been
And I'd hate to think you're better off without me
I know we tried to hold on
But where do you go
When love, it just ain't enough?
Now does it kill you when you think about me?
Are you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
[Verse 2: Jessie Reyez]
I don’t come close to an angel
You ain’t never been no kind of saint
But when we both came together
Hell to heaven, you were my escape
But fires don't burn forever
And all these ashes crumble when we touch
We danced to death in the fire
What can we do now that the music's done, my love?
[Chorus: Lewis Capaldi & Jessie Reyez]
I hope you’re lonely, hope you’re lost 'cause I've been
And I'd hate to think you're better off without me

Are you as close to giving up as I've been?
I know we kept losing touch
Got lost in the rush
I pray you don't hurt too much
[Bridge: Lewis Capaldi & Jessie Reyez]
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
But I hope you find whatever you are looking for
Well, we had it all
And we let it fall
Lost in the rush

@shannonswartz6928
I'll never understand why songs like this don't blow up...this is a phenomenal piece of music! The lyrics, the arrangement, the VOCALS!?! I'd rather hear this on heavy rotation, than 90% of the mediocre "songs" that assault my ears on a regular basis...people need to hear this!!

I love the contrast between "I hope you're lonely, hope you're lost cause I've been" and "I pray you don't hurt too much", because that's exactly how I feel. Constantly torn between these two wishes for the man who didn't let me to love him.
@Akiron111
Wow I was at such a horrible place 4 month ago. And you know what? Now I only want to love myself, for the first time in my life. Still love the song tho.
