Go On
The Nash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I question if I need to let you go
Cause if you love it sometimes it's best just to let it go
And if it come back in your life then you’ll forever know
But Ima rook with this love shit, I’m far from a pro
Cause I ain't tryna sell you no dreams
Everything that looks good ain’t what it seems
And I ain't tryna waste your time in between
And turn a friend of me into an enemy (Yea)
We represent two ends of the spectrum
Every Sunday you wake up for church lectures
Every Sunday I wake up in cabinets looking for breakfast
Long as you don’t judge I don't judge so it's really no pressure
Cause I ain't been to church in Lord knows when
Last time I went I was rocking that Ralph Lauren
I should go more often for the times that I have sinned
But back to us I feel the drift and girl I can’t pretend
That our love connection ain't approaching a definite end
I ain't the worst cat
But I’ll be the first cat
To admit that
I got my flaws and I ain't never hid that
Ain't tryna let this thing build up until we get mad
Then the insults come cause that can really get bad
And I ain't really with that
If we don’t work out I still would want my old friend back
I don't want the gifts back you keep that
And if it’s meant to be I’ll be back, believe that (Yea)
Sometimes I question if I need to let you go
Cause if you love it sometimes it's best just to let it go
And if it come back in your life then you’ll forever know
But Ima rook with this love shit, I’m far from a pro
Cause I ain't tryna sell you no dreams
Everything that looks good ain’t what it seems
And I ain't tryna waste your time in between
And turn a friend of me into an enemy (Yea)
Over a year since then girl I’m just checking in
So how you been
I’m chilling watching Netflix what you recommend
I ain't gone keep this in cause Lord knows I've been missing my best friend forreal
I ran into your moms a couple months ago
She still reminds me of Miss Clair Huxtable
You was Denise I was Martin that’s how it was suppose to go
We were suppose to be raising our lil Raven Symone
She told me that you finally moved to LA
She asked if we talked I told her barely
She must've seen the pain up on my face
Cause she gave me a hug before she walked away
But I ain't tryna bring you down girl keep shining
You in LA now stay focused keep grinding
Just make sure you stay true and you take care
And if you ever need a friend I'm on my way there (Yea)
Sometimes I question if I need to let you go
Cause if you love it sometimes it's best just to let it go
And if it come back in your life then you’ll forever know
But Ima rook with this love shit, I’m far from a pro
Cause I ain't tryna sell you no dreams
Everything that looks good ain’t what it seems




And I ain't tryna waste your time in between
And turn a friend of me into an enemy (Yea)

Overall Meaning

The Nash's song "Just a Song Before I Go" is a poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of a romantic relationship. The opening line sets the tone of the song as a farewell message, addressed to whomever it may concern. The lyrics describe a touring musician's experience, as he travels from one city to another, playing shows at breakneck speed. The singer is keenly aware of the dangers that come with living life in the fast lane. He speaks of traveling twice the speed of sound, a metaphor for the hectic pace of his life. He cautions that it's easy to get burned if one doesn't slow down and take a breath.


The song is a meditation on the sacrifices that are made in the pursuit of a career in music. The singer speaks of his longing for love and companionship but recognizes that the demands of his career require him to be alone. Despite this, he finds comfort in the fleeting moments of connection that he shares with others while on the road. The woman who helped him with his suitcase and drove him to the airport serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of human connection.


The chorus of the song drives home the message that life is short and unpredictable. The singer advises the listener to take a lesson from his experiences and be mindful of the dangers of moving too quickly. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet reminder that the people and experiences that matter most in life can be fleeting and come and go in the blink of an eye.


Line by Line Meaning

Just a song before I go,
This is just a song I'm singing before I leave.


To whom it may concern
This song is for anyone who may be listening.


Traveling twice the speed of sound
I'm traveling very quickly.


It's easy to get burned
It's easy to get hurt or overwhelmed by moving too fast.


When the shows were over
After the concerts were done.


We had to get back home,
We had to return to our homes.


And when we opened up the door
When we arrived at our homes and entered through the door.


I had to be alone
I needed some time to myself.


She helped me with my suitcase,
She assisted me by carrying my luggage.


She stands before my eyes
I see her standing in front of me.


Driving me to the airport,
She's taking me to the airport.


And to the friendly skies
We're going up into the sky on a flight.


Going through security
Passing through airport security.


I held her for so long
I hugged her for a lengthy period of time.


She finally looked at me in love,
She gazed at me affectionately.


And she was gone
She left my sight.


A lesson to be learned
This experience taught me something important.

Thanks.....much appreciated it! ;-)

@jeffgzebb9533

Very impressive! Could you please give me a few hints how you make a video like that? Like, the details of the dashes etc. I'm guessing you first create the images in a Photoshop type program (as opposed to cartoons of old, where they had to draw all the images), and then incorporate them into the video? Either way, it's pretty impressive.

Grandmother's sister had a Nash that she drove for years. My dad was strictly a Cadillac guy. You can't believe how many times this song was played at family parties. Awesome memories!
