Never Let You Go

Third Eye Blind · Third Eye Blind A Collection (The Best Of) [2006]

Whoo!

There's every good reason for letting you go

She's sneaky and smoked out

And it's starting to show



Chorus:

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you turn around your back on each other

That's a good idea

Break a promise to your mother

Turn around you're back on each other



You say that I changed

Well maybe I did

But even if I changed

What's wrong with it?



Chorus



And all our friends are gone, are gone

And all the time moves on and on

And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong

And all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong



If there's a reason

It's lost on me

Maybe we'll be friends

I guess we'll see



I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go



Turn around you're back on each other

That's a good idea

Break a promise to your mother

Turn around lets turn on each other

Good idea

Break a promise to your mother.



Turn around your back on each other

That's a good idea

Break a promise to your mother.

Turn around your back on each other

What a good idea



I remember the stupid things

The mood rings, the bracelets with the beads

Nickels and dimes, yours and mine

Did you cash in all your dreams?

You don't dream for me, no

You don't dream for me, no

But I still feel you pulsing like a sonar

From the days in the waves

That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save

That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save

She's like a sunburn

She's like a sunburn
