[Verse 1]
Hanging on a silver string
All the love that we could’ve been
Summer fading out the spring
Feel the warmth underneath your wings
And I will never let you go
All the words you want to scream
Take my heart slowly out of me
Forever falling in a dream
All the love that we could’ve been
[Chorus]
I never get high when you’re feeling low
I’m pulling down stars just to make you glow
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And in the middle of the night when you’re on your own
I’m chasing down light in the indigo
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And I will never let you go
And I will never let you go
[Verse 2]
Promise I will never run
Catching fire, let the light become
Shallow edges left of sun
Feel the heat, hold it in your lungs
Never could’ve loved you more
By your side in a quiet roar
This is what my hope is for
Watch you float when the water’s gone
[Chorus]
I never get high when you’re feeling low
I’m pulling down stars just to make you glow
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And in the middle of the night when you’re on your own
I’m chasing down light in the indigo
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And I will never let you go
No I will never let you go
[Bridge]
Did I, did I, did I do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I do you right?
Did I, did I, did I, do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I, did I, did I?
Did I, did I, did I do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I do you right?
Did I, did I, did I, do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I, did I, did I?
Did I, did I, did I do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I do you right?
Did I, did I, did I, do you wrong?
Did I, did I, did I?
And I will never let you go
[Chorus]
I never get high when you’re feeling low
I’m pulling down stars just to make you glow
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And in the middle of the night when you’re on your own
I’m chasing down light in the indigo
It’s just the way you are when you’re overgrown
And I will never let you go
And I will never let you go
And I will never let you
