Fools Rush In
She & Him Lyrics

Fools rush in
People who act without thinking often make reckless and hasty decisions

Where angels fear to tread
People often engage in risky behavior that others would avoid

And so I come to you my love,
The singer addresses her lover and confesses her emotional attachment

My heart above my head
Her passion overpowers her logic and reason

Though I see
Despite being aware of potential dangers

The danger there
Situations that have the potential to result in harm, failure, or disappointment

If there's a chance for me
The possibility of finding love and happiness is worth the risk

Then I don't care
She's willing to take the leap, regardless of the consequences

Fools rush in
Reiteration of the earlier idea of recklessness

Where wise men never go
Caution and prudence lead people to avoid situations that could lead to danger

But wise men never fall in love
Emotion often clouds rational thinking, causing people to act impulsively

So how are they to know?
Wise men have never experienced the irrationality of love, so they can't know how it feels

When we met, I felt my life begin,
Meeting her lover made the singer's life feel more meaningful and fulfilled

So open up your heart and let,
The singer asks her lover to open up emotionally

This fool rush in
She admits that she's foolishly jumping into the relationship, but she can't help herself

Just open up your heart and let
Reiteration of the earlier line, emphasizing the importance of emotional vulnerability

This fool rush in
Reiteration of the earlier idea that despite being foolish, she is willing to take the risk and jump into the relationship

Just open up your heart and let
Again emphasizing the importance of emotional openness and honesty

This fool rush in
Reiteration of the singer's willingness to take a risk and pursue the relationship despite the possibility of failure

So open up your heart and let
Final appeal to her lover to open up emotionally and embrace the risk of the relationship

This fool rush in
Final acknowledgement of her own foolishness in pursuing the relationship, but a declaration that she's willing to do so anyway
