Dead END
Kane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay tonight,
Let me hold you like I never did before.
Take my arms,
And let me hold you like I never did before.

And I should have tried just to talk about this,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know that I'm,
Still here,
So before you let me go

Take my hands,
Let me touch you like I never did before.
Take my heart and let me love you,
Like I never did before,
Like I never did before.

And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.

But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So before you let me go.

Before you let me go

Save the dance and let me spin you,
Till your world is turning round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
Save the chance and let me show you,
Just like you need a little more,
Just like you need a little more.

And I should have tried just to talk about it,
Waiting, ending.
I should have tried just to let you know,
That I'm still here.

But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.
So before you let me go

Before you let me go

But we waste it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
Until we see ourselves no more.
When we're closing every door,
It's so much harder than before,
So much harder than before.

But we wast it every time,
Now my heart is on the line,
And now we bruise with every step.
When we're closing every door.
Can we make it easier.

He offers his hands and heart to her, saying that he wants to touch her and love her as he never has before. He wants another chance to make things right and plead with her to not let go before they try again.


The following verses continue with his plea for a second chance, with him saying that they waste their time in quarrels and fights, and they need to work harder to understand each other. He is willing to do anything, dance, and spin her around to make her happy. He acknowledges that it will not be easy, and they will face some challenges, but he is ready to face them together. The repetition of the lines "before you let me go" emphasizes the desperation and the urgency of the situation.
