Don't Hesitate
Love's Guiding Light: Nate Goodlet's Ode to Florida Nights
Lyrics
She's dressed in black from her head down to her toes
Describing the woman's attire, dressed in black from head to toe.
And I can barely see her smile under this dark Atlantic sky
Expressing difficulty in seeing her smile under the dark sky.
Her shining blonde hair acts as my compass
Her blonde hair is likened to a compass, guiding the speaker.
And her voice navigates me through the night
Her voice serves as navigation through the night for the speaker.
She whispers softly into my ears
She softly whispers words into the speaker's ears.
Just a few shorts words that resonate for hours
Those few words resonate for an extended period.
They resonate for hours she said
Reiteration of the lasting impact of her words.
I don't ever wanna walk I just wanna run
Expressing a desire to run instead of walking.
I don't ever wanna talk cuz words can be undone
Preferring not to talk as words can have irreversible consequences.
So I'm telling you as quickly
Quickly conveying a message.
I won't hesitate
Commitment to not hesitate in decision-making.
I think I am in love
The speaker believes they are in love.
Please don't ever leave this state
Pleading for the person not to leave the current emotional state.
Florida has a sense of never being wrong
Describing Florida as having a sense of infallibility.
So we stay out til the stars they tell us who we are
Staying out late, guided by the stars to discover identity.
They point to something bigger that I can't comprehend
Stars indicating something profound beyond comprehension.
They tell us that this love is more than just pretend
The stars affirming that the love is genuine, not mere pretense.
So I'm telling you this now
Reiterating the message about the genuine nature of love.
I don't ever wanna walk I just wanna run
Repeating the desire to run instead of walk.
I don't ever wanna talk cuz words can be undone
Emphasizing the avoidance of talking due to the irreversible impact of words.
So I'm telling you as quickly
Quickly conveying a message without hesitation.
I won't hesitate
Reiterating the commitment to not hesitate, particularly in love.
I think I am in love
Reaffirming the speaker's belief in being in love.
I won't ever leave this state
Commitment to never leave the current emotional state.
As the breeze blows by
Setting the scene with the breeze and the smell of orange blossoms.
The smell of orange blossoms remind me of that night
Reminiscing about a night when hearts began to stir.
When our hearts began to toss and we knew this was goodbye
Reflecting on a moment when it became clear that a farewell was imminent.
But I knew that we'd remember the night that all of Florida sang
Anticipating the lasting memory of a night when Florida resonated with song.
I don't ever wanna walk I just wanna run
Reiterating the preference for running over walking.
I don't ever wanna talk cuz words can be undone
Avoiding talk to prevent the undoing of emotions conveyed.
So I'm telling you as quickly
Quickly and decisively expressing a message without hesitation.
I won't hesitate
Affirming the commitment to decisiveness, particularly in matters of love.
I think I am in love
Reaffirming the belief in being in love.
I won't ever leave this state
Commitment to never leave the current emotional state.
