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 Well, I can tell you're tired and nothing has gone your way In a long, long time and your heart, it aches And ooh, 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 while 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 are not alone and I can tell that you're still shooting straight All of the things you've gained, it's an even trade And ooh, 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 But 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
