Don't Let Go
New Arcades Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So tell me your thoughts
Say what's on your mind
My attention is yours
And I've got the time
You can lie through your teeth
When you look in my eyes
It's nothing to me
And I won't ask you why

So don't let go
I'll hold you tight
I want you to know
That this is right
Don't look away
You have to try,




I want you to stay
In my arms tonight
