“Jumpstarted” is a song about love/lust at sight. The lyrics describe a chance meeting, the initial infatuation, and subsequent chase and let down.
[Intro]
Strictly business, nothing more
As I held the door (Held the door)
What a sight walked in (Ah)
As two hearts started dancing
A new story begins
[Verse 1]
Oh, my poor soul starts flying like a cannonball
What goes up must come down
Take my advice and run while you still (Can)
[Chorus]
To the races, got my love jumpstarted
The only one I want is you (Say it again, hey!)
I hear the bells, and they're ringing already
Four kids and a big ol' wedding, singing "You" (Say it again, hey!)
Now as I make the long walk home
You got me feeling like an overdose, singing (You)
[Verse 2]
Hey, don't act surprised
A goldfish wouldn't love you twice
And your gravity, my depravity won't take my advice (So nice)
I never run while I still (Can)
[Chorus]
To the races, got my love jumpstarted
The only one I want is you (Hey!)
I hear the bells, and they're ringing already
Four kids and a big ol' wedding, singing "You" (Say it again, hey!)
Now as I make the long walk home
You got me feeling like an overdose, singing (You)
(Well now)
[Bridge]
Then my heart starts attacking and the arteries clapping
Trapping all the bits of poison in the morning
I was sure that she was slipping me
Goddamn, maybe
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
What goes up must come down
Take my advice and run while you still—
[Chorus]
Off to the races, got my love jumpstarted
The only one I want is you (Say it again, hey!)
I hear the bells, and they're ringing already
Four kids and a big ol' wedding, singing "You" (Say it again, hey!)
Now as I make the long walk home
You got me feeling like an overdose, singing (You)
(Well now)
[Hook]
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
(Money, money, money, money)
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
(Money, money, money, money)
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
(Money, money, money, money)
Maybe I just gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
(Money, money, money, money)
[Outro]
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
I feel broken, but maybe I just gotta pay the price (Ooh)
I keep hoping that maybe I just gotta pay the price
Maybe I just gotta pay the price, oh
(What goes up must come down)
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
Maybe I just gotta pay the price
(Take my advice and run while you still–)
