Still You Won't Let Go

I thought to devise me a better life
But the world caught up and captured me
So I took my lies and my wasted time
And I sat them out for all to see

I need the lovers' arms, strong
In a story that's untold
We've got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, all, all of this time
We keep falling forward
And still you won't let go

I can't roll up time, but if I could I'd find
A couple things I'd rather not ever see again
But I've got hope that climbs up the highest heights
And looks down on me with anticipated grins

I need the lovers' arms, strong
In a story that's untold
We've got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, all, all of this time
We keep falling forward
And still you won't let go, still you won't let go

If I reach an age when my thoughts don't change
Would you gather up my crippled melody?
'Cause I'd rather die than be a parasite
That judges over others and over me

I need the lovers' arms, strong
In a story that's untold
We've got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, all, all of this time
We keep falling forward
I need the lovers' arms, strong
In a story that's untold
We've got barrels in our bones
And we're afraid to fire and, all, all of this time
We keep falling forward
Still you won't let go
Still you won't let go
Still you won't let go
