Don't Let Go
Seeb & Bastille Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Free your body and
Free your body and your mind (yeah, yeah, yeah)
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (don't let go)
I often tell myself that we could be
More than just friends
I know you think that if we move too soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied 'til we're taking those vows
There'll be some love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)
I often fantasize the stars above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to yours like lovers only do
If I could wear your clothes, I'd pretend I was you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) and lose control
There'll be some love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)
Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I don't really wanna play no foolish game
Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I know that you know me and you know my name
Come, baby, here, it's me and you, it's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine
Come, baby, here, it's me and you, it's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine
Running in and out my life, yeah
It's got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice, yeah
Somebody's got to choose
And we can make it if we try
For the sake of you and I
Together, we can make it right
What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend? (Oh no)
Don't you wanna be more than friends? (Don't you wanna be more than friends? Yeah)
Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
You have the right to lose control (don't let go)
Now, now wait a minute, now wait a minute
The lyrics of "Don't Let Go" by Seeb & Bastille depict a desire for a deeper connection and intimacy between two individuals beyond just being friends. The chorus emphasizes this longing, asking the question of what it's going to be, and encouraging the listener to hold the singer tight and not let go. The lyrics acknowledge the fear of moving too quickly and potentially jeopardizing the friendship, but also express the misery and dissatisfaction of not being together. The song also mentions the idea of love making, heartbreaking, and soul shaking love, suggesting the intensity and passion they could experience if they take the leap.
The second verse introduces some fantasizing, where the singer imagines the stars watching them and understanding the depth of their emotions. The lyrics express a desire to be closer to the other person, even going as far as wanting to wear their clothes to feel connected. The idea of losing control is also mentioned again, emphasizing the intensity and the desire to let go of inhibitions.
The bridge of the song brings in a more confident and assertive tone, with the singer promising to not play games and expressing their certainty that the other person knows them and their name. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace the connection and the way they move, suggesting a mutual desire to be together.
