Ready To Call This Love
MIKA Jack Savoretti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Losing love in the dark
Every time that I move too fast, I fall apart
But I think you're the same
And I know that you're scared
Think too much of the end and we will never start
We still sleep with the light on
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
I don't know what to say
That's unusual for me
First step is the hardest one you'll ever take
You can see sparks with the light on
Oh, let's be brave, turn the light off
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready to this love?
Are you ready to call?
Are you ready to call this love?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready yet?
Are you ready to this love?
Are you ready to call, ready to call this love?
Take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call this love?
Oh, take your time if you need it
But don't wait when you know you feel it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call this love?
Don't speak if you don't believe it
But please, say those words if you mean it
And you're ready to call
Ready to call this love
Are you ready to call, ready to call this love?
Are you ready?
