Lyrics Chokehold - Longfellow

Chokehold

Standing on the sidewalk watching all the world go by,
nothing’s ever easy brother don’t you ask me why,
'cause these are our fears and we don’t need nothing more,
and this is our home and I can’t believe we’ve traveled so far.
Control, you’ve got to let go, I’ll only let this slide forever.
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold, why won’t you let this die?
And we’ll go out, out.
Walking down the seafront, trying to keep my senses numb.
You tell me that I’m helpless waiting for the tide to turn.
But this is my skin and I won’t feel nothing more, 'cause this is your bed and
I must insist you lie in it alone.
Control, you’ve got to let go, I’ll only let this slide forever.
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold, why won’t you let this die?
And we’ll go out, out.
So let the night become the dawn and darkness overbear us all, I see the light
within you start to fade
So let the night become the dawn and darkness overbear us all, I see the light
within you start to fade, start to fade, I’ll watch you fade.
Control, you’ve got to let go, I’ll only let this slide forever.
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold, why won’t you let this die?
Control, you’ve got to let go, I’ll only let this slide forever.
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold, why won’t you let this die?
And we’ll go out, out in style.
