[Verse 1]
You move as soon as lightning strikes
But me, I'm cool, I linger a while
I wanna take my time (Yeah-eah-eah, -eah-eah-eah-eah)
You push, you shove, you're forcing my hand
You rush too much, you don't understand
I wanna take my time (Yeah-eah-eah, -eah-eah-eah-eah)

[Chorus]
Don't make me jump the gun
Can't convince me that you are the one, are the one
Don't make me jump the gun
I'm not ready to be on the run, on the run
Take it slow, I know that it's for the better
Even though I can see we go together
Don't make me jump the gun, jump the gun

[Verse 2]
Relax, stay calm, the moment will come
Unless, of course, you drag me along
'Cause I could change my mind (Yeah-eah-eah, -eah-eah-eah-eah)
I don't wanna make any foolish decisions
Living my life without any conditions
I never plan, never plan, never plan with a bullet's precision, yeah

[Chorus]
Don't make me jump the gun
Can't convince me that you are the one, are the one
Don't make me jump the gun
I'm not ready to be on the run, on the run
Take it slow, I know that it's for the better
Even though I can see we go together
Don't make me jump the gun, jump the gun
[Bridge]
If you're looking for security then go and get it
I'm gonna wait till I'm good and ready to settle
Why you go about it like it's now or never?
Waiting for a promise that will last forever and ever

[Chorus]
Don't make me jump the gun
Can't convince me that you are the one, are the one
Don't make me jump the gun
I'm not ready to be on the run, on the run
Take it slow, I know that it's for the better
Even though I can see we go together
Don't make me jump the gun, jump the gun (Yeah-eah-eah, -eah-eah-eah-eah)
