Low

Before I go
Let's take a little more than we have before
You said that you'd be lucky if you died slow and beautiful
And somehow I know, I know what you mean
And it's give and take
When everything is gone and so much has changed
Well, I can tell you're tired and nothing has gone your way
In a long, long time and your heart, it aches

And ooh, oh, I told you that
I won't let you get too low
And I told you that
I won't let you get too low
I won't let you get too low

Before I go
Let's wait a while longer, set things in stone
Then maybe you can put the other foot first, move forward
And then down the road, we can joke about it
It's give and take
The things you've held close to you start to fade
But you are not alone and I can tell that you're still shooting straight
All of the things you've gained, it's an even trade

And ooh, oh, I told you that
I won't let you get too low
And I told you that
I won't let you get too low

Maybe there's a time and a place
If I said it, then that's what I mean
But if you take a look around, you'll see
You've wound up where you're meant to be

Your heart
Just like a dog in the streets
Just like a kid in the summer heat
Like you're still and you're staring at your feet

Oh, I told you
Oh, I told you that
I won't let you get too low
And I told you that
I won't let you get too low
I won't let you get too low
