Low - Mat Kerekes

Before I go, let’s take a little more than we have before

You said that you’d be lucky if you died slow and beautiful

And somehow I know, I know what you mean

And it’s give and take

When everything is gone and so much has changed

I can tell you’re tired and nothing has gone your way in a long long time

And your heart, it aches

And you…

Oh I told you that I won’t let you get too low

And I told you that I won’t let you get too low

I won’t let you get too low

Before I go, let’s wait a little longer, set things in stone

Then maybe you can put the other foot first, move forward

And then down the road we can joke about it

It’s give and take

The things you’ve held close to you start to fade

But you’re not alone and I can tell that you’re shooting straight

All of the things you’ve gained, it’s an even trade

And hoo…

Oh I told you that I won’t let you get too low

And I told you that I won’t let you get too low

Maybe there’s a time and a place

If I said it, then that’s what I mean

And if you take a look around, you’ll see

You’ve wound up where you’re meant to be

Your heart

Just like a dog in the streets

Just like a kid in the summer heat

Like you’re still and you’re staring at your feet

Oh I told you

Oh I told you that I won’t let you get too low

And I told you that I won’t let you get too low

I won’t let you get too low
