Advice lyrics

Don't look down
Cause it's easy
You're falling from force
Just letting it take nature's course
Then picking it up when it's over

Don't be afraid
Cause the chances are there for the take
But treasure the choices you make
And know when you must take it slower

You may think you've had it rough
And try to give it up
But when you think you're stuck
Just go another way

This first part of the song talks about how you should just go along with what comes in your way (problems) and when it ends- like when everything is back to normal then you see what has happened then fix it or continue what you have been doing, but then sometimes you just need to know when are the times you can stop and take your time to do something you like or need to be careful with. And times where you just have 1 chance to do something and even if you’re scared you should just go with it because you never know if you can do it ever again. But then the song goes on to sing about how sometimes theirs bumps along the way, you should not give up, but try going around it instead.

CHORUS:
Don't let go of good times
And let the bad ones know you'll feel fine
And wear your heart out on your sleeve
Love is all, love is all you need

Don't be rushed
Cause hurrying causes mistakes
And make sure to give more than take
Cuz sharing yourself brings you closer
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/christina_grimmie/advice.html ]
You may think you've had it rough
And try to give it up
But when you think you're stuck
Just go another way

This part of the song is when she introduces the chorus which is about how not to forget about what’s the good memories, but also think about the bad ones and say those are in the past. Also to say that love is all that you need to get through this world. She then she tells use to slow down and take our time and to share more than take because if we don’t share with people we’ll won’t get much to take in about each other.

 CHORUS:
Don't let go of good times
And let the bad ones know you'll feel fine
And wear your heart out on your sleeve
Love is all you need

Feel with all your senses
Make sure to let down your defenses
There's just one way to make you see
Love is all, love is all you need

Take a chance now cause it's easy
Take a chance now for you and me
Take a chance now you can reach it
Take a chance for me

This section of the song sings about how sometimes you should have you walls down to have some fun and maybe get hurt cause that’s how you learn to protect yourself next time. Then it sings about taking chances.

CHORUS:
Don't let go of good times
And let the bad ones know you'll feel fine
And wear your heart out on your sleeve
Love is all, love is all you need

Feel with all your senses
Make sure to let down your defenses
There's just one way to make you see
Love is all, love is all you need

Love is all you need
Love is all
Love is all
Love is all you need

In the end of this song Christina Grimmie ends it by kind of repeating the last section before this one and repeats the chorus over again to end the song.

            This song didn’t have 1 main issue/ lesson it was made of little lessons in it. This song made me feel like I could do whatever I want to if I try and that love would get me through it.
