Honestly, I'm surprised I haven't blogged about this song before. Considering how much I love this song, I figured I would have by now... Well, since I've discovered that I haven't, I figure I should now.
"Moment of honesty - someone's gotta take the lead tonight. Who's it gonna be? I'm gonna sit right here and tell you all that comes to me. If you have something to say, you should say it right now.
You ready?" So the singer has decided that she and her friend have gotten to a point in their relationship where they need to talk about how they feel and what's going on with them. It's unclear who's gonna start, but somebody has to. For her, now is the time, and she is ready to pour out her heart.
"You give me a feeling that I never felt before and I deserve it, I think I deserve it. It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore, and I can't take it. I was wondering maybe, could I make you my baby?
If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy? [Or would it be so beautiful? Either way, I'm saying...] If you ask me I'm ready.
If you ask me I'm ready." She realizes that what they share is different, as it makes her feel like no other. And she feels like she deserves to have such a feeling, such a love. It's growing by the day, and she can no longer hide what she feels, so she is ready to take the plunge and ask if this can be official, if they can take that next step. Even though it may look crazy for whatever reason (in the music video, there was a racial divide, but it could be age, gender, or other societal concern), it makes sense to her and her heart feels that it's right. It even has the potential to be a beautiful thing, and so she is putting herself out there to say that if the question is asked, she is ready to do it, no matter what the risks/concerns may be.
"I know you once said to me, this is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be.
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually? If we gon' do something bout it.
We should do it right now." In a previous conversation, her friend seemed to think that what they have brings about the feeling that one has when things are as they should be when you've found "the one." Yet, for some reason, they haven't taken that step, and she is wondering why. If this is what it's supposed to be like, why wait? I will add a word of caution and say that timing can be important, but when your heart knows, sometimes you have to just go for it, or at least have the conversation as they are.
"Why give up before we try, feel the lows before the highs, clip our wings before we fly away?
I can't say I came prepared. I'm suspended in the air.
Won't you come be in the sky with me?" Sometimes fear gets in the way, and people stop before they start, concerned about the potential negatives. She is saying that they should at least try. Even though she doesn't have all the answers, she has taken flight in some way, and she is inviting her friend to let go and come with her. Yes, there will be ups and downs, but if they try, it may end up being the best thing ever....
