Don't Let Me Down
Dana Fuchs Jim Sturgess Evan Rachel Wood & T.V. Carpio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel your heart beat playin' on my right side
Every night I long for this, makin' up what I miss
I can hear you breathin', lettin' out a sad sigh
You try so hard, to hide your scars
Always on your guard
Don't, don't let me go
When you're not
Don't, don't turn away
What can I say
So you won't
No don't, don't let me go
I can see the skyline fadin' in the distance
Tears are comin' down and I'm tryin' just to make sense
I don't listen to the radio, just the engine and the road
I wonder if my words are makin' any difference
I dream and then it seems to end
But always comes again
Don't, don't let me go
Don't make me hold on
When you're not
Don't, don't turn away
What can I say
So you won't
No don't, don't let me go
I'm comin' down to where you're standin'
I need you now
Or you'll be watchin' me hit the ground
With a crash landin'
Don't, don't let me go
Don't make me hold on
When you're not
Don't, don't turn away
What can I say
So you won't
No don't, don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
