Never Let You Go
My Buddy Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back to the nights we felt alive
Picking up the pieces on a summer night
I didnโ€™t know that I would feel just like my heart's on fire
Whenever Iโ€™m with you

Cause we go back in time to thrills I miss
And all the things I wish we did
And all I know is that I need Somebody like you

Cause I can't waste another night Sitting here alone
Hoping for your voice on the Telephone I know
Itโ€™s a supercut as you walk away
Playing in my mind all the things I never

Close my eyes and the
Sky's on fire
I can't waste another night
Sitting here alone
We can
Do it all again and Iโ€™ll never let you go

Take me back to another sunrise
Back when all I ever needed was by my side
Youโ€™re a star brighter than Venus Iโ€™m Your satellite
Whenever Iโ€™m with you

Cause we go back in time to thrills I miss
And all the things I wish we did
All I know is that I need somebody like you

Cause I can't waste another night Sitting here alone
Hoping for your voice on the telephone I know
Itโ€™s a supercut as you walk away
Playing in my mind all the things I never

Close my eyes and the
Sky's on fire
I can't waste another night
Sitting here alone




Let's just
Do it all again and Iโ€™ll never let you go

im not one to like pop music.....
but i like this.
.
good beat.... great (but basic) lyrics...... and let me explain that comment.
.
people say country is all the same..... "my ford broke, wife left, and dog ran away"
and this song has VERY common lyrics.
.
but.....
i think a person living in NYC.... and my country montana butt have had the same experiences.....that this song talks about
.
ive been sitting in a car with a girl a liked.... just me and her
went to a "summer of senior year" party.... last time our class would all be together
after the party we drove the back roads.... still drinking (dont drink and drive.... and if you do, stay on the gravel back roads)
we did this till the sun came up
.
then sat and watched the sun rise....
.
and im not sure if the memory would be better if we "did it" or not..... honestly
.
but come to find out..... years later.... she had a kid, dude turned out to be a dead-beat
straight up told me on FB that she had a huge crush on me as well
.
but i still was in MT..... she was 3000 miles away
.
but ya.... point is
i think we have ALL had similar experiences
and while the lyrics are the pop equivalent of "my ford broke down and my dog ran away"
they resonate with EVERYONE
.
and i do think they are sung with some soul..... even if these guys didnt write the lyrics themselves
.
i listen to everything from 1950s rock and country..... to modern rap, dubstep, rock and roll (aka, ty segall and his 4 bands)
and i like this song



@kainhall

@@MyBuddyMike i know its been a year or 2 now..... but im glad you didnt get SUPER PISSED about my "constructive criticism"
and its not even criticism.... really
.
like, id be super happy to have you write some lyrics for my HORRIBLE acoustic guitar playing LOL
.
.
and ya.... this song is pop....110%
but damn it.... im back here again, listening to it in full
.
.
.
so.... this song must have SOMETHING that keeps bringing people back
the beat, the lyrics, the memories, ETC
.
.
whatever makes you happy.... makes me happy
ya feel me?
