Never Let You Go

Never Let You Go

The storm builds a barricade like quicksand
Without the Ice Queen's steady hand, I can barely stand
And as I struggle to race from the wind's embrace
Hail forces her frenzied kisses against my face

But I still feel you pulsing like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save

My lips turned blue with all I said in vain
I waited to take all the blame, but you never came
You know, at first frostbite and sunburn look the same
But only one will numb the sane after initial pain

I still feel you pulsing like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save

Seasons pass but each returns
There are other burns for me to earn
But even when the memory becomes a lifetime ago
I'll still catch glimpses of your shadow fall upon the snow

I still feel you pulsing like sonar from the days in the waves
That girl is like a sunburn I would like to save
