Won’t Let Go of Me Songtext
von Jenny Owen Youngs

Time, it takes some time
When that′s all you got
It eats at the corners of your mind
Words spoken on
Whisper quietly
Is it in a language only you and I could know?

I am tethered
It's draining me away
Draining me away

Deep in the ground
Can′t bury it down
I let it go but it won't let go of me
Caught in between
With my heart on my sleeve
I let it go but it won't let go of me
Won′t let go of me


Here in my head
I revisit every flower
I go ′round and 'round again
With each and every touch
Pieces slip away from me
Can I trust what I′m remembering?

I am tethered
It's draining me away
It′s draining me away

I am tethered
It's draining me away
It′s draining me away

Deep in the ground
Can't bury it down
I let it go but it won't let go of me
Caught in between
With my heart on my sleeve
I let it go but it won′t let go of me
Won′t let go of me


Deep in the ground
Can't bury it down
I let it go but it won′t let go of me
Caught in between
With my heart on my sleeve
I let it go but it won't let go of me
Won′t let go of me

Deep in the ground
Can't bury it down
I let it go but it won′t let go of me
Won't let go now
Caught in between
With my heart on my sleeve
I let it go but it won't let go of me
Won′t let go of me
