Won't Let Go
Unyielding Love: David Bazan's Ode to Tenacity in Won't Let Go
Lyrics
When you get this message I'll be high above the earth
Expressing a departure from the current location, likely on a journey or flight.
Thinking 'bout the promises that I keep
Reflecting on commitments made and contemplating their significance.
When I touch down in Texas, land in Dallas, Fort Worth
Anticipating arrival in Texas, specifically Dallas and Fort Worth.
I will call you up and wake you from your sleep
Planning to contact someone upon arrival, suggesting a connection or relationship.
I will not let go
Repeated affirmation of the speaker's commitment to not let go of the person being addressed.
I will not let go
-I will not let go of you
-I will not let go
-I will not let go
-I will not let go of you
-Who or what controls the fates of men I cannot say
Expressing uncertainty about the forces influencing human destinies.
But I keep arriving safely home to you
Acknowledging a consistent return home safely, possibly to a loved one.
And I humbly acknowledge that I won't always get my way
Accepting that one won't always have things go their way, showing humility.
But darling death will have to pry my fingers loose
Using death as a metaphor, emphasizing an unwavering commitment that persists even in the face of challenges.
'Cause I will not let go
Reiterating the strong determination to hold onto the person, emphasizing resilience in the face of uncertainties.
I will not let go
-I will not let go of you
-I will not let go
-I will not let go
-I will not let go of you
