Jump
Linn Öberg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've come together and I stay put
And you said sometimes leading is good
You threw stars at me with your laughter
Now the world is fierce and dark
It used to be softer
It used to be softer.
Now you're taking a jump into that great ocean
while I'm sitting around and thinking what I could do now!

You're eyes are glittering in this picture
as they are in real life.
And now they stare at me twice
now they stare at me twice.
All the people dancing
They dance to the sound of their needs waking
There will still be of you in all things
You see my love is fleeting
We would share each other's dreams, we,
We would sleep so close
and now my nights are all worry
my nights are all worry
Now you're taking a jump into that great ocean
while I'm sitting around and thinking what I could do now!
I beg to myself
Yeah I beg to myself
I dare to fall, I dare to fall, I dare to faaaaaall
huuuuuuuuuu
haaaaaayy
haaaaaaaaaa aaayyy
I've come together
I've come together
Yeah I stay put
Where you left me darling?
I stay still on this mountain
while you're taking a jump into that great ocean
while I'm sitting around and thinking what i could do now!
I'm taking some time
Yeah I'm figuring out
I'm figuring out who I am
I'm figuring out who I am
I'm figuring OUT who I am
Oh yeah and I fear now who I am
without without without without you
without without you uuuu
without without you
I've come together
Yeah and I stay put
and you said sometimes leading is good
You threw stars at me with your laughter

Now the world is fierce and dark
It used to be soft.
