Jukebox The Ghost - Jumpstarted Lyrics

Jukebox The Ghost Lyrics

"Jumpstarted"

Strictly business, nothing more
As I held the door (Held the door)
What a saint walked in (Ah)
As two hearts started dancing
A new story begins

Oh, my poor soul starts flying like a cannonball
What goes up must come down
Take my advice and run while you still

(Can!) 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)

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) 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)

Then my heart starts attacking and the arteries clapping
Trapping all of-, it's a poison in the morning
I was sure that she was slipping me
Goddamn, maybe

What goes up must come down
Take my advice and run while you still

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)

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 pay the price
(Money, money, money, money)

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
(Maybe I just gotta pay the price
Maybe I just gotta pay the price)
What goes up must come down
Take my advice and run while you still

Ben Thornewill revealed the following about "Jumpstarted" via the band's Tumblr account on the 16th of February 2018 (the day this song was released), "I wrote this tune over a series of manic afternoons last year. Each day I tried to add a new part or elaborate on what I had made the day before without thinking of the consequences. During the writing process I recorded over 120 different vocal tracks even before we brought it into the studio as a band. And those vocal tracks are the backing vocals you still hear. From there Tommy, Jesse and I worked to arrange and put it together into something resembling a song..."

When asked by PopDust.com, what was the song "people connecting with the most from the album" during the live performances, Ben Thornewill replied with, "'Jumpstarted,' the tune we're opening with, gets a great reaction. There's a split, though, between 'Everybody's Lonely' and 'Fred Astaire' for the biggest moment on the tour."
