[Verse]
Like a good book that draws you in
You're smoking but not breathing in
Somethings take you
They won't let you go
Like a dream that sends your soul above
Like your first kiss with your first love
Somethings take you
And they won't let you go

[Chorus]
Somethings take you
And they won't let go
Somethings are new here now
Somethings are old
Somethings are over now
Some are close
Somethings will hold you down
Somethings will let you grow
Somethings will take you
But you've got to let go

[Verse]
Like those drinks that help you forget
All the things that you did you regret
Somethings take you
And they won't let you go
Like that man that has stolen your heart
But you can't stand to see him part
Somethings take you
And they won't let go
[Chorus]
Somethings take you
And they won't let go
Somethings are new here now
Somethings are old
Somethings are over now
Some are close
Somethings will hold you down
Somethings will let you grow
Somethings will take you
But you've got to let go

[Verse]
Like a flower getting pushed in the wind
Or a preacher getting swelled in sin
Somethings take you
And they won't let you go
Like a soldier getting lost in the war
Or the little black book of a whore

[Chorus]
Somethings take you
And they won't let go
Somethings are new here now
Somethings are old
Somethings are over now
Some are close
Somethings will hold you down
Somethings will let you grow
Somethings will take you
But you've got to let go
