Still You Won’t Let Go

I fought to devise me a better life
But the world caught up and captured me
So I took my lies and my wasted time
And I set them out for all to see

I need the lovers' arms, strong
Story that's untold
We got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, oh, all of this time
We keep falling forward
And still you won't let go

I can't roll up time
But if I could I'd find
A couple things I'd rather not ever see again
But I've got hope that climbs up the highest high
And looks down on me with anticipated grins

But I need the lovers' arms, strong
Story that's untold
We got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, oh, all of this time
We keep falling forward
And still you won't let go
Still you won't let go

If I reach an age where my thoughts don't change
Will you gather up my crippled melody?
'Cause I'd rather die than be a parasite
That judges over others and over me

But I need the lovers' arms, strong
Story that's untold
We got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, oh, all of this time
We keep falling forward
But I need the lovers' arms, strong
Story that's untold
We got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, oh, all of this time
We keep falling forward
But still you won't let go
Ooh, ooh, still you won't let go
And still you won't let go
