Rush
Lisa Scott-Lee Lyrics

These lyrics come from the song "Rush" by Lisa Scott-Lee. The first two lines of the song reveal the singer's past reluctance to engage with love and romantic relationships, with the lines "Romance is a game for fools / I used to say / A game I thought I'd never play." Here, the singer is introducing a common theme in music: the idea that love is risky and often makes people feel foolish. The third and fourth lines, "Romance is a game for fools / I said and grinned," suggest that the singer still has some reservations about love even as she meets someone new.

The next two lines reveal that the singer encounters someone who changes her mind about love. She sees someone who captures her attention and makes her want to throw caution to the wind. This idea is expressed in the lyrics, "Then you passed by / And here am I / Throwing caution to the wind." The singer then references the common saying, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," which means naive people often act recklessly and take risks that others would avoid. The singer acknowledges that she is taking a risk by pursuing this relationship but is unable to resist the temptation to do so.

The song then transitions to the chorus, where the idea of foolish love is further explored. The lyrics "Fools rush in where wise men never go / But wise men never fall in love, so how are they to know?" express the idea that those who are cautious never take risks and therefore cannot experience the joys of love. The next line, "When we met, I felt my life begin," conveys the idea that love has transformative power and has the potential to change people's lives. The singer then tells her lover to "open up your heart" and let her "rush in," suggesting that they should both take a leap of faith together.
