Never Want To Let You Go
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been awake all night but move
Though I know I should
Counting curls in your hair, as you sleep so tight
I wonder if you'll ever know 'till I go
The chances are you'll be there too some day
We'll never know, let's hope
Never wanna let you go
All I can do is hope
'Cause I never wanna let me go
Dreaming soft in silence, been working hard all day
Still in the night grows darker, I'm with you in every way
Never wanna let you go
Never wanna let you go
All I can do is hope
'Cause I never wanna let me go
I don't know whether I'm trying to love, love you baby
Been round long enough to know
Never wanna let you go
Never wanna let you go
All I can do is hope
'Cause I never wanna let me go
The central theme of Take That's song βNever Want To Let You Goβ revolves around the fear of losing someone, who is deeply loved and cherished. The lyrics describe a moment when the singer is lying beside his loved one, admiring her beauty and feeling the warmth of her presence. The singer is unable to sleep and, as he watches her sleep, he contemplates his fear of losing her one day. The singer wonders if she will ever fully comprehend the depth of his love for her, and whether she would feel the same way towards him after he's gone.
The chorus of the song - βNever wanna let you go, all I can do is hopeβ- is a sentiment that rings true for many people who are in love. The fear of losing someone we love is an emotion that is commonly shared, and the song beautifully captures this universal experience. The lyrics also reflect the sense of vulnerability that often comes with relationships, and the fear of being hurt.
In the second verse, the singer describes a moment during the day when he is consumed by thoughts of his loved one, and how he longs to be with her. The lyrics also suggest that the singer has been around long enough to know the reality of relationships, which can be fragile and easily broken. However, despite his knowledge of life's ups and downs, he remains committed to holding onto his love.
Overall, βNever Want To Let You Goβ is a touching ode to love and the fear of losing it. The song's emotional depth, combined with its memorable chorus, makes it a perfect anthem for all those who have ever feared losing someone they love.
