"Lose You" lyrics

"Lose You"

She was ghosting on a high note
Like a halo from a gun
She disappeared in smoke
In the last light of the sun
I was burning my eyelids
Trying to stare into the blaze
Trying to see around the edges
But the light got in my way

I'm desperate for a message
Calling out your name
I'm sending up a raven and a dove
Trying to quell the panic
Rising in my chest
Like a mother at a missing person's desk

Cause I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna lose you now
Now that we're falling
I wanna follow you down
If you've got something to say
Say it now
I'm dying to hear you
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna lose you now

I found your letter
The first one of your name
In the bedroom window
Where your fingerprints remain
They were saying come find me
You know where I am
So I hop a plane to Paris
Each night when I'm dreaming

Think about you every day
Wonder how you've been
Wonder what you're doing now
Red wine on canvas
The color of your hair
Maybe we can make it somehow

Cause I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna lose you now
Now that we're falling
I wanna follow you down
If you've got something to say
Say it now
I'm dying to hear you
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna lose you now

Noah Gundersen said the following of "Lose You", "I wrote this in an unapologetic attempt to get someone back. This is essentially my Lloyd Dobler at the window with Peter Gabriel on his boombox, desperately vulnerable in his trench coat and high tops. I love how many of my friends are on this track."
