[Intro]
(Oh, yeah)
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 1]
I let myself get carried away
Rule book out of the front door
Never felt this lost before you came along
I always have something to say
But I can't find the words no more
Head and heart are waging war, I can't explain
[Pre-Chorus]
How I feel when I'm lying in your bed
But I know that I'm not using my head
And my body gets weak in the silence
Ohh
Yeah, I wish it could all be so simple
As our feelings being reciprocal
Trying to find common ground in the middle
But I'm so used to acting on impulse
[Chorus]
Jumping the gun for you (For you)
Oh, I got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I'll always be stuck with this wound
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, yeah)
Ohh, ahh
(Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Maybe I should start giving you space
When I'm too close it hurts me more
But far away I start to fall
I can't win either, or
I guess that I'll be taking the blame
For being irresponsible
What did I do that for?
[Pre-Chorus]
So surreal when I'm lying in your bed
But I know that I'm not using my head
And my body gets weak in the silence
Ohh
Yeah, I wish it could all be so simple
As our feelings being reciprocal
Trying to find common ground in the middle
But I'm so used to acting on impulse
[Chorus]
Jumping the gun for you
But I got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I'll always be stuck with this wound
Jumping the gun for you
But I got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I'll always be stuck with this wound
Jumping the gun for you
But I got way too much to lose
I let myself get confused
I messed up my priorities
Now I'll always be stuck with this wound

As soon as I wrote ‘Jumping the Gun’ on the same trip to LA, I never questioned it and it’s never left each draft of the record that came since. I love the song in a visceral way since it’s about unrequited feelings and impulsiveness—how you can interrogate yourself when you experience a connection...
