This is the last song from David Bazan’s second solo album, Strange Negotiations. The song is a love song, perhaps to his wife, Bazan being known for writing intensely autobiographical music. After renouncing his religious faith, Bazan started writing songs doubting or arguing against Christianity....
[Verse 1]
When you get this message I'll be high above the earth
Thinking about the promises that I keep
When I touch down in Texas, land in Dallas/Fort Worth
I will call you up and wake you from your sleep
[Chorus]
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you
I will not let go
I will not let go
I will not let go of you
[Verse 2]
Who or what controls the fates of men I cannot say
But I keep arriving safely home to you
And I humbly acknowledge that I won't always get my way
But, darling, death will have to pry my fingers loose
[Chorus]
