I'd Never Let You Go
Bold roots rock guitar riffs open over a steady Americana backbeat, supporting soulful organ and tight bass, Verses layer in acoustic strums and harmonica for warmth, giving way to southern rock’s electrified, bluesy leads in the choruses, Organic percussion and harmony vocals round out the rich, earthy texture

Instrumental Intro
Verse 1
You move real soft across the floor,
Your hand rests lightly on the door.
You hold your breath, afraid I'll wake,
With every step you try to take.
You glance at me, then look away,
Your heart’s not sure if you should stay.
You brush my arm with trembling hands,
Wishin’ I’d stop you where you stand.
Chorus
You don’t owe me a single word,
Your quiet steps are all I heard.
We crossed a line without regret,
But you're not ready to stay just yet.
If leavin’s what you think is right,
Then slip away into the night,
For if I opened my eyes, you know,
I’d never let you go.
Verse 2
You close your eyes and wipe your tears,
The thought of last night keeps you here.
As you look back, your fingers shake,
A part of you hoping I'll wake.
You watch me sleep, afraid to feel,
With every moment that you steal.
You reach the hall, movin’ too slow,
Wishin' you didn't have to go.
Chorus
You don’t owe me a single word,
Your quiet steps are all I heard.
We crossed a line without regret,
But you're not ready to stay just yet.
If leavin’s what you think is right,
Then slip away into the night,
For if I opened my eyes, you know,
I’d never let you go.
Bridge
You stop and look back towards the door,
Wanting to hold me just once more.
If I woke up, you’d have to stay,
I wouldn't let you walk away.
Chorus
You don’t owe me a single word,
Your quiet steps are all I heard.
We crossed a line without regret,
But you're not ready to stay just yet.
If leavin’s what you think is right,
Then slip away into the night,
For if I opened my eyes, you know,
I’d never let you go.
