Please Don't Go
Six60 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey

Should have looked both ways before I let you cross my mind
Didn't see it coming 'cause I've never seen your kind
Zero to hundred ain't too fast
But you at a thousand just like that
Yeah, so run that back 'cause you so bad let's do this one more time
Ooh
Please don't go
Ooh
Please don't go

Thought I made the rules until you redefined the game
Tryna keep it cool but, damn, you're fire like a flame
Every move I make, you match
You know how to light me up like that
Yeah, wish I didn't want it but I do so won't you stay? Huh

Please don't go, don't go
Please don't go, don't go
Please don't go, oh
Please don't go, don't go

You could be the end of me (the end of me)
If it kills me I still want you as a ghost
Yeah, I would give you anything, just please don't go

Oh, I hope you're happy that you ruined me for good
Set the bar too high I swear you always knew you would
I don't know how I will survive
If I let you walk out of my life
So come on back to bed and let's wake up the neighborhood

Please don't go, yeah
Please don't go, whoa
Please don't go




Please don't go
Please don't, please don't go

Overall Meaning

The song "Don" by Six60 starts with the lyrics "Should have looked both ways before I let you cross my mind. Didn't see it coming 'cause I've never seen your kind." The singer is expressing his regret for allowing someone new into his life without considering the possible consequences. He admits that he was unprepared for someone like her, someone who can cause his emotions to skyrocket from zero to a thousand in mere seconds, hence they are asking to do it once more.


The singer also talks about how this new person redefined the rules of the game and fire like a flame in looks and feelings, and every move he makes she matches. Despite knowing that he is in too deep, he regrets making these decisions but wants this person to stay. He is frightened of what will happen if she leaves, as he admits, "You could be the end of me." He would do anything for her to stay, regardless of the consequences he has to face. He concludes by pleading that she doesn't leave him.


Overall, the song is about being swept away and consumed by a new emotion, the singer is helpless in the face of something that they can't control. They are afraid of what may happen if this person leaves, and they are willing to do everything to make her stay.
