Lost Again
Midnight Cowboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't let me slip away
You might want me back some day
Cause I've tried all the time just to get a grip
But my hands are tired always seem to slip
Won't you lend a helping hand

I guess I'm on that road again
Because I'm dying on my own
Dying all alone
You can't save me baby cause I'm
Dying on my own
Dying all alone
Won't you hold my hand
You know I'm lost again

Lost in a concrete jungle
With all them fools to cut my wings
Cause I've tried all the time just to get a grip
But my hands are tired always seem to slip
Won't you lend a helping hand

I guess I'm on that road again

Because I'm dying on my own
Dying all alone
You can't save me baby cause I'm
Dying on my own
Dying all alone
Won't you hold my hand
You know I'm lost again

Lost in a concrete jungle, with all them fools

Can you feel it
Can you feel it
Can you feel it!?

Because I'm dying on my own
Dying all alone
You can't save me baby cause I'm
Dying on my own
Dying all alone




Won't you hold my hand
You know I'm lost again

Line by Line Meaning

Don't let me slip away
Please don't let me go or fade away


You might want me back some day
In the future, you may regret losing me


Cause I've tried all the time just to get a grip
I am constantly trying to stay grounded


But my hands are tired always seem to slip
However, I am exhausted and struggle to hold on


Won't you lend a helping hand
Can you please help me?


I guess I'm on that road again
I am back on the path of feeling lost and alone


Because I'm dying on my own
I feel like I am slowly fading away by myself


Dying all alone
I am dying without anyone by my side


You can't save me baby cause I'm
No one can rescue or fix me because


Lost in a concrete jungle
I am lost in a city where there is no escape


With all them fools to cut my wings
And people who prevent me from soaring


Can you feel it
Do you understand what I am going through?


Because I'm dying on my own
I am still slipping away and feeling abandoned


Dying all alone
I still feel like I am trapped in solitude


Won't you hold my hand
Can you please offer me comfort and support?


You know I'm lost again
You are aware that I am feeling disoriented and uncertain
