Rush On is about Rateliff’s friend, Richard Swift. The producer of Nathaniel and the Night Sweats albums that passed away due to alchohol related complications.
“It’s raw and honest, and I have a really hard time singing it,” Rateliff says, “but this song is pushing Richard even harder into whatever...
[Verse 1]
I hoped it would heal
Or you'd wake when it was over
Now counting the days
Since your breath had closed your eyes
[Chorus]
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
And now you sleep forever
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
[Verse 2]
How easy you left
Remembering all the laughter
But deep in your chest
Was a moan that never ends
[Chorus]
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
If I find you, I will wake you
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, hey, rush on
[Verse 3]
I'd hoped like a prayer
That your brokenness would leave you
But months turned to years
And the emptiness prevailed
[Chorus]
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
[Bridge]
All the love and cries could not shake you from your rest
Given you my sight to take the jaundice from your skin
[Chorus]
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
And now you sleep forever
Rush on, rush on
Rush on, rush on
[Post-Chorus]
Rush on, rush on
