Never Let You Down
Woodkid ft Lykke Li Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you come along cause I'm about to leave this town
In my eyes a waterfall and I can hear a siren call
Could you be waiting by the shore?
Or I could drown without you
Will you be holding out the line when I fall?

I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down

Have you ever had to be the one to sail away?
Have your heart torn apart feel your love float astray
Do you remember all the sounds when I found you by the lake?
And how the water seemed to call your name

I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down

Baby I will find you
Baby I can hear you call
Baby I can feel your heart
Baby I will find you
Just wait a little longer
Baby I can hear you call
I won't ever let you fall

I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh
I'll never let you down
Never let you down
I'll never let you down
Never let you down, oh




I'll never let you down
Never let you down

Probably the best song out of the entire movie.. I expected better from the entire soundtrack, yet I guess not. Although, Woodkid didn't fail to impress. :P

@timothyhynes1018

It's impossible to be satisfied once you've heard Woodkid once.
please don't ever stop making music friend

@Sunny6C

Aucune déception, évidemment. La puissance de la voix de Woodkid et la douceur de celle de Lykke Li. Parfait mélange. La chanson me transporte totalement ! Chapeau les artistes.

@ApeironSound
