I Won't Stop
Imaginary Baseball League Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left it on the plane
And i fell head first down
Into tennessee
Beside a tiny house
Resting on a lake
In a church town dying
For heaven's sake
When you came to the door
You smiled at me
And pulled me up from the floor
When i made that jump
I was aware that the iron ground
Could be waiting in there
To welcome me with its death embrace
But as i screamed south
I pictured your face
And though i fell hard
I knew how to land
Just closed my eyes
And reached out my hands
Let go of everything
That i couldn't stand
About myself and my scattered plans
And as soon as i stood up
We laid right back down
In the most comfortable bed
In the entire town
But we couldn't cry
About anything
And the smiles of our silence
Whispered in harmony:
I love you, and i won't stop.
The lyrics to Imaginary Baseball League's song "I Won't Stop" describe a moment of intense vulnerability and surrender. The singer of the song has taken a huge risk by jumping without a parachute, which could have resulted in his death, but he was willing to take that risk because he was thinking of someone special - possibly a lover or friend. When he lands and is able to connect with this person, their embrace is a symbol of salvation, and the singer lets go of everything that he had been struggling with before.
The lyrics are rich with sensory imagery that serves to create a vivid picture of the scene. The singer describes falling headfirst into Tennessee, and then coming to beside a tiny house resting on a lake in a church town dying for heaven's sake. This suggests that the location is a place that is struggling, where people are looking for a way out. The singer is in need of rescue, but the person he's thinking of is able to give it to him simply by being present.
The final lines of the song express a deep commitment and love: "I love you, and I won't stop." This phrase captures the idea that even though life can be full of challenges and risks, the connection between people can remain strong and unwavering. It's a powerful promise of loyalty and devotion.

Forgot my parachute
I forgot to bring my safety gear
Left it on the plane
I accidentally left it on the airplane
And i fell head first down
I fell uncontrollably towards the ground
Into tennessee
I fell into the state of Tennessee
Beside a tiny house
I landed near a small home
Resting on a lake
The house was next to a peaceful lake
In a church town dying
The town had numerous churches but was dying
For heaven's sake
It was a town in need of help from a higher power
But i was alive
Despite the fall, I survived
When you came to the door
When you opened the door for me
You smiled at me
You greeted me with a warm smile
And pulled me up from the floor
You helped me stand up
When i made that jump
When I took the risk of jumping
I was aware that the iron ground
I knew the ground could be hard and unforgiving
Could be waiting in there
The ground could be right there waiting for me
To welcome me with its death embrace
I could get hurt or even die from the impact
But as i screamed south
As I fell in a southern direction
I pictured your face
I thought of you and the love we share
And though i fell hard
Although the fall was difficult
I knew how to land
I knew how to protect myself upon landing
Just closed my eyes
I shut my eyes to shield myself from the impact
And reached out my hands
I extended my arms to cushion the fall
Let go of everything
I released all troubling thoughts and distractions
That i couldn't stand
Things that were unbearable for me to cope with
About myself and my scattered plans
Concerns I had with my self and my uncertain future
And as soon as i stood up
Once I got up
We laid right back down
We immediately laid down
In the most comfortable bed
We laid down on the most comfortable bed in town
In the entire town
The bed was the most comfortable in the whole town
But we couldn't cry
But we couldn't express our emotions through tears
About anything
About anything troubling us
And the smiles of our silence
Our happy and content expressions
Whispered in harmony
Combined with our silent expressions
I love you, and i won't stop.
I'll always love you, and I'll never stop loving you.
