Don't Let Go
The Envy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and your world stops spinning round
You feel like your falling from the clouds
but you never hit the ground
so take this stretch of road
we'll call it home
Just run away with me tonight
of me
Can a love like ours survive
in such cold uncertain times?
I know that if you only hold me tight
we can make it through tonight
So let's run on down the interstate
and across the sea
Everywhere I go, I wanna take you with me
Don't let go
of me
Don't let go
of me
When I close my eyes and I think of you
We're going to make it babe
we're going to make it through
Just don't let go
Underneath black velvet skies
forever in your eyes
I see reflections of the lights
Just dance with me tonight
Overhead the sky explodes
and my heart it overloads
throw your arms around my neck
and don't let go
We'll take this stretch of road,
we'll call it home
just run away with me
Just don't let go
of me
Don't let go
of me
Don't let go
of me
Don't let go
of me
Just don't let go
The Envy’s song Don’t Let Go is a track about holding onto love while everything else crumbles around you. The song starts by describing the feeling of falling, and how it seems like there’s no bottom to hit. But the singer encourages their partner to run away with them, to take this “stretch of road / we’ll call it home”. It’s a plea to hold onto love, to not let go of the person they're singing to. The chorus repeats this refrain over and over, and it's clear that the message is meant to stick.
The second verse asks a tough question: “Can a love like ours survive / in such cold uncertain times?” The singer then answers their own question, claiming that if they hold each other tight, they can “make it through tonight”. It’s as if they’re taking life one day at a time, recognizing that the world is unpredictable and that love is something to hold onto. The song then describes an adventure: running “down the interstate / and across the sea”. The singer wants to take their partner with them wherever they go, even if it involves leaving everything they’ve ever known behind.
The bridge continues this idea of escaping reality: “Underneath black velvet skies / forever in your eyes / I see reflections of the lights / Just dance with me tonight”. It’s a moment of pure bliss and romantic surrender despite everything else. The song gives permission to lose oneself in love, to forget about the rest of the world and just hold onto the person you love. The song concludes with the same message it began with; “Don’t let go / of me / Just don’t let go”.
Line by Line Meaning
When it all comes crashing down
When everything falls apart
and your world stops spinning round
and your life becomes stagnant
You feel like your falling from the clouds
You feel like you're losing everything that you hold dear.
but you never hit the ground
but you never completely lose hope in the midst of chaos.
so take this stretch of road
Let's embark on a journey
we'll call it home
We will create a place where we both feel safe
Just run away with me tonight
Let's escape from everything happening around us for the moment
Just don't let go
Please don't leave my side, hold on tightly to me
Can a love like ours survive
Can our love withstand the test of time?
in such cold uncertain times?
in times when nothing is certain
I know that if you only hold me tight
I believe that by coming together we can make it through anything
we can make it through tonight
We can overcome any difficulty we may face today
So let's run on down the interstate
Let's drive away in search of new experiences
and across the sea
to unfamiliar territories
Everywhere I go, I wanna take you with me
I want to share my life with you, wherever I go
Underneath black velvet skies
Under the dark of the night
forever in your eyes
As I stare into your eyes, I see my future with you
I see reflections of the lights
I see a glimmer of hope and happiness in our future
Just dance with me tonight
Let's forget everything else and dance together
Overhead the sky explodes
In the sky, we can see fireworks and beauty
and my heart it overloads
My heart is full of emotions and love for you
throw your arms around my neck
Hold me tight and never let go
and don't let go
Stay with me through thick and thin, don't give up on us
Don't let go
Don't leave me, stay by my side
of me
Hold on tightly to me. Don't ever let go
Just don't let go
Hold on to us, let's never let anything come between us

Man I saw these guys in concert open for The Stereos in Vancouver literal years ago and it was probably one of the best openers I've seen. I still wish these guys got more popular than they did

Saw these guys open for KISS many years ago and man was this band amazing. Gave me goosebumps watching them perform. It was even better than this studio version... really wish these guys got bigger than they did... they deserve it.
