Let You Go
Riley and the Roxies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't do without it
Wrapped in lust, I got a crush
No way around it, I'm pleading now
Don't leave me now, slow it down
I don't have a doubt, you're on my mind, it's all I want
Some things feel right, from the start babe
Summer is so right, when the going gets tough
By your thunder I'm stuck, falling in love I'm shit out of luck babe
I'll die by your side, if it all goes south
Obsessed with your vibe, give me mouth to mouth
You know what I like, too high to doubt it
Baby I'm all in, falling in love I'm shit out of luck babe
We move in cycles, these feelings linger
You're chasing titles, rings on your fingers
You are the dealer, I'm just a junkie with a little cash
This addiction I am paying for
Some things feel right, from the start babe
Just stay all night, hold you close real tight
Summer is so right, when the going gets tough
By your thunder I'm struck, falling in love
I'm shit outta luck babe
I'll die by your side, If it all goes south
Obsessed with your vibe, give me mouth to mouth
You know what I like, too high to doubt it
Baby I'm all in, falling in love I'm shit out of luck babe
Get that feeling in my finger tips
Need that high and baby you're my fix
I can't hide it if I want you so
Might sound crazy, but I don't want you to let me go
I'll die by your side, if it all goes south
Obsessed with your vibe, give me mouth to mouth
You know what I like, too high to doubt it
Baby I'm all in, falling in love I'm shit out of luck babe
The lyrics of "Let You Go" by Riley and the Roxies depict a passionate and addictive love affair. The singer expresses their need for physical intimacy and the idea that they cannot live without it. They are infatuated with their partner, describing it as a crush that they cannot escape from. The urgency in their plea not to be left alone suggests a fear of losing this connection.
The chorus highlights the intense emotions that come with this relationship. Despite the difficulties they may face, such as the vulnerability of falling in love and the possibility of heartbreak, they are willing to stay by their partner's side no matter what. The mention of summer being "so right" adds to the idea of a passionate and fleeting romance.
The verses unpack the dynamics of the relationship further. The singer characterizes it as a cycle, with lingering feelings and a longing for more. The partner is portrayed as someone seeking validation and recognition, perhaps through acquiring "titles" and the symbolism of rings. The singer, on the other hand, feels like a "junkie" in need of their fix. They are addicted to the intense emotions this love affair brings, even if it comes at a cost.
The bridge emphasizes the physical and emotional craving the singer has for their partner, comparing it to a drug addiction. They admit their inability to hide their desire and confess that they don't want to be let go, regardless of how unconventional or irrational it may seem. The song ultimately captures the all-consuming nature of a passionate love affair and the willingness to weather the emotional storms that may arise.
