Don't Rush Me
Michael Rossback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I'm on your right
You're making it hard for me to sleep tonight
And if we will be just what we will be
You push me away, but I could never leave
I'll be on the other said, you'll see
As long as you don't rush me
I'll be everything you'll need
And times running out
But you'd never know
You look to the sky but nothing's there to show
And if we will be just what we will be
You'll still push me away
But I will never leave
I'll be on the other side, you'll see
As long as you don't rush me
I'll be everything you'll need
Oh, you've tried but you can't let go
Your love cause it's all you know
Hold tight but you lose control
Oh no
Oh, when it gets cold outside
And no one's there to catch your sighs
You found what you're looking for
I'll be on the other side, you'll see
As long as you don't rush me
I'll be everything you'll need
I'll be on the other side, you'll see
As long as you don't rush me
I'll be everything you'll need
In Michael Rossback's song "Don't Rush Me," the lyrics depict a relationship where one person is hesitant to fully commit while the other is ready to dive in headfirst. The singer tries to reassure their partner that they will be there for them no matter what, but they need time to take things at their own pace. "Don't look to the left cause I'm on your right" conveys the idea that the singer is already next to their partner and doesn't need to be chased, but also adds a slight hint of warning. The line "You're making it hard for me to sleep tonight" suggests that the situation is causing the singer stress and anxiety.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that the singer is willing to stick around, even if it means waiting for their partner to come around. "I'll be on the other side, you'll see as long as you don't rush me" shows a willingness to be patient and supportive, while "I'll be everything you'll need" promises to fulfill the other person's needs once they are ready to commit. The bridge suggests that the hesitant partner may be struggling with past emotional baggage, but the singer still promises to be there for them when they need support.
Overall, "Don't Rush Me" is a heartfelt plea for patience and understanding in a relationship. The singer recognizes the complexity of the situation and the difficulty of trying to balance their own needs with their partner's. It is a reminder that sometimes the best thing we can do for the people we love is to simply be there for them, no matter how uncertain the future may seem.
