HANDS
We vs. Death Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Climb through my window
If something ain't right
Dust off the pillow
Sharpen the light
Make a song for me
And sing it all night
You will never need my forgiveness
So don't you ever apologize
Tell me a story
If something ain't right
Skip all the glory
But keep it in mind
Take a deep breath
And hold it all night
You will never need my forgiveness
So don't you ever apologize
You don't need my forgiveness
See these weathered hands
And I'm a weakened man
But I'm never gonna let go
Gonna let go, never gonna
Let go of you
Never gonna let go
Gonna let go, never gonna
Let go of you
Shake off this heartache
It's been a bad dream
There's no speech to make
That could say what you mean
Climb through my window
And wait for me
I won't be long
Never gonna let go
Gonna let go, never gonna
Let go of you
Never gonna let go




Gonna let go, never gonna
Let go of you
