Can't Let Go

(album: The One - 2009)

I saw a car that looked just like yours
A silver hatchback with a dent in the door
And I followed it around the block

It started taking a familiar route
And I was thinking this has got to be you
So I was hoping maybe we could talk

Can't let go and I
I should know that I would screw it up from the very beginning
If you're the one then I
Can't let you run away

We ended up in a high-speed chase
The tinted windows were hiding your face
When I drove up beside you

You probably think that I've lost my head
Stopping at the green lights and running the reds but I
I'm not gonna lose you again

'Cause I can't let go and I
I should know that I would screw it up from the very beginning
If you're the one then I
Can't let you run away

No we can't keep driving like this
Because one of us is gonna end up dead in a ditch
And I, I'm not trying to kill you

We both pulled over to the side of the road
But a man jumped out and popped me in the nose
And I started rolling up my window

But he ran over to the passenger side
Grabbed me by the shirt and he punched me in the eye
And I, I had to apologize

I said "Please let go 'cause I, I should have known
That I was screwing up from the very beginning
I thought you were someone and I
Couldn't let you run away, no no"...
