Lyrics
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
We were kids with nothing left to prove
Running circles in the rain
You would always know which way to move
Before I even felt the pain
And these are the nights that carry you forward, forever
And these quiet scars remind you forever, forever
All this empty space, won't you let it fill?
It's been dark so long, are you with me still?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
If we only hold the weight of then
We'll forget what we became
As the distance grows, the current slows
And we're not quite sure who's to blame
But those are the nights that carry us forward, forever
And those quiet scars define us forever, forever
All this empty space, won't you let it fill?
It's been dark so long, are you with me still?
I don't wanna lose what's left of this anymore
I don't wanna watch you walk away anymore
I don't wanna lose what's left of this anymore
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
I don't wanna watch you fade away anymore
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
(I don't wanna let it go, I don't wanna let it go)
(I don't wanna let go)
All this empty space, won't you let it fill?
It's been dark so long, are you with me still?
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
