Don't Rush, Don't Wait
Embrace the Dance of Fate with Now More Than Ever's 'Don't Rush, Don't Wait'
Lyrics
Everybody stares but she don't care
Despite being observed by others, she remains indifferent to their gaze.
She's dancing like nobody's watching
She is dancing freely, oblivious to onlookers.
She's walking on air
She is elated and carefree, as if walking on air.
So what you gonna do, it's your move
The listener is prompted to take action; it's their turn.
You feel her eyes from across the room
The listener senses her gaze from a distance.
You swear that she's looking at you
The listener believes she is looking directly at them.
Don't rush, don't wait, don't hesitate
Emphasizes the importance of neither rushing nor waiting in a given situation.
You don't wanna make this mistake
Advises against making a potentially regrettable decision.
Don't be a minute too late
Urges not to delay, as timing is crucial.
A little twist of fate

Don't rush, but don't wait
Reiterates the need for action without hastiness.
She smokes her cigarettes
Describes her smoking habits, drawing a parallel to Joan Jett.
Just like Joan Jett
Compares her cigarette style to that of Joan Jett.
With the grace of a queen she ashes her Parliaments
Portrays her graceful actions while handling Parliaments.
The smoke gets in your eyes
Suggests the captivating nature of the smoke.
Now your hypnotized
The smoke captivates and mesmerizes.
Your choking on your broken heart

A breath away but miles apart
Despite closeness, there is emotional distance.
Don't rush, don't wait, don't hesitate

You don't wanna make this mistake

A little twist of fate

Don't rush, but don't wait

Then her mascara slowly starts to run
Describes the visual impact of her running mascara.

Indicates her emotional pain and longing for someone.
Your damned if you do, your damned if you don't
Highlights the dilemma faced by the listener.
This is your chance this very moment

This crush it won't break

Even when your heart is at stake
