Don’t Let Me Down Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
If I'm with you
Then rest assured that I'm in love
In love with you
If I'm with you
Then rest assured that I'm in love
In love with you


[Chorus]
Baby, baby, please don't let me down
In love with you
Baby, baby, please don't let me down
If only broken hearts live all above
Baby, baby, please don't let me

[Verse 2]
I can't get up (I can't get up)
I'll move the mountains in my mind (In my mind)
You bet your luck
I'll write your name in city lights
To brighten up your room, oh
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, please don't let me down
If only broken hearts live all above
Baby, baby, please don't let me

[Verse 3]
Spill out all of your love for me
Tell them all I'm your lover, babe (In my mind)
Spill out all of your love for me
Tell them all I'm your lover, baby
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 4]
Baby, we've got time for time to wait
I put you on the line, no choice to make
Running only slows you down the way
When every minute moving's yours to take

[Verse 5]
We turn time into shapes
The way you're loving me
We turn hours into space, oh, oh, oh
We put seconds into stars
The way you're loving me
Turn circles into hearts, oh, baby


[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Genius Answer

I think “Don’t Let Me Down” is my favorite because it really encompasses a few different elements for me that are really personal. When I was writing the song, I was just thinking about a certain space in my relationship. And what’s really interesting about the record is that, previous to Dev coming and being a part of it, I was having a pretty difficult time writing because it was my first time writing in a space of content and being in a settled and stable relationship. Pretty much all of my other writing experiences were coming from a place of sadness or anger or confusion, and so that song is really special because it was in my own little way being able to express that but it still has a hint of confusion to it as well
