Don't Let Go
Dave Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We’re saying good bye to friends,
We met this month,
We’ll keep in touch,
I wish time would stop instead.
‘Cause I don’t wanna say good bye,
When I’m caught up in your eyes.
Like our first kiss,
That brought my heart to life.
Don’t let go,
Tell her something she won’t let go.
She may never know.
So tell her,
I should tell her,
Before my heart explodes.
Don’t let go,
I won’t let you go.
The nights are getting cold,
And the days are hard to hold.
You’re months away and miles from me,
But the memory’s still gold.
I think about them all the time,
That summer when you were mine.
Before I caved in, my words felt thin,
Don’t wanna say good bye.
(Why did I say goodbye?)
Don’t let go,
Tell her something she won’t let go.
She may never know.
So tell her,
I should tell her,
Before my heart explodes.
Don’t let go,
I won’t let you go.
Please take me back to summer,
So I can let you know,
This year’s been such a bummer,
Because I let you go.
Please take me,
(Please take me)
Back to summer,
(So I can)
So I can let you know,
This year’s been,
(This year’s been)
Such a bummer,
(I’ve gotta)
I’ve gotta let you know.
Don’t,
(I won’t)
Let,
(Let go)
Go.
Tell her something she won’t,
(I won’t)
Let,
(Let go)
Go.
She may never know.
So tell her,
I should tell her,
Before my heart explodes.
(Before my heart explodes)
Don’t let go.
I won’t let you go.

This song deserves so much more attention. Beautifully written and performed, and it's one of my favorites by Dave. Has been since I first heard it.

I can't believe how much emotion is put in this song. It's just.. perfect. The lyrics are just beautiful. The way he sings this song, and captures every single emotion in this, leaves me speechless. And the video is so artistic, and a bit sad, it fits right in. This is by far, one of the best songs out there, and it's better than most of today's "artists". You can see his passion in music and his talent. You, sir, are my favourite artist, and please, don't ever let the music go! Much respect.

I will never get tired of this version . Dave this song is amazing . I know every word and I'm constantly singing it to my two year old niece . She always has the biggest smile and asks me to sing it again . I love you're work. It is absolutely amazing :) I only wish I could be as talented as you and find the courage to actually try with what little talent I do have when it comes to singing. I love you dave. You are an amazing person :) don't ever stop this please

I love how throughout the whole video he looks completely lost in his lyrics like he's remembering a real experience, it makes me love this version so much more then the original. <3

I'm listening to him for nearly 2 years and I think that he's one of the most underestimated artists. Also it's great to observe how his productions begins to be the best. If you're reading this i just wanna tell that you that you have fan in Poland ;)
