Lyrics

We all haven't played this next song for nearly ten years in the U.S tour, uhm Because I was just like, "I'm never gonna sing this song again, ever, it's never gonna happen" Because it reminded me of a time of being very young and very sad and very drunk So I had strange feelings about it, uhm But then, of course, what happened is you just did not stop fucking listening to it Uhm, and that has been the way, uh, for the past fifteen years of making songs Everything that I have tried to push away, every part of myself that I thought was too broken or messy If I put it in a song, you always brought it back to me with love, and allowed And allowed me to see it in a different way So, as a thank you to everyone who has been with us for the last fifteen years Uhm, I wanted to start playing it again I also think I stopped playing it because it's really fucking hard to sing It's really, hahaha, 'cause yeah, you know, I don't like it, I don't like it But it's actually still really hard, but, uhm, as a thank you to everyone who's been with us, uhm I wanted to sing this again for you Looking up from underneath Fractured moonlight on the sea Reflections still look the same to me As before I went under And it's peaceful in the deep Cathedral where you cannot breathe No need to pray, no need to speak Now I am under all And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed Found the place to rest my head (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me And the arms of the ocean delivered me Though the pressure's hard to take It's the only way I can escape It seems a heavy choice to make But now I am under, oh And it's breaking over me A thousand miles down to the sea bed I found the place to rest my head (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) And the arms of the ocean are carrying me And all this devotion was rushing out of me And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me And the arms of the ocean delivered me And it's over and I'm going under But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in Oh, I'm slipping underneath, ooh So cold and so sweet In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold And all this devotion, well, I never knew at all And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released In the arms of the ocean, deliver me (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) deliver me (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) Deliver me, yeah (never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) deliver me (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) And it's over (never let me go, never let me go) And I'm going under (never let me go, never let me go) But I'm not giving up (never let me go, never let me go) Just giving in (never let me go, never let me go) Cold (never let me go, never let me go) Sweet (never let me go, never let me go) Ooh (never let me go, never let me go) So cold and so sweet (never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go, never let me go) (Never let me go)
