James Arthur – Say You Won't Let Go Lyrics 8 years ago
I have a different interpretation of this song, one I know isn't backed by his own descriptions.

She becomes terminally ill rather young, and he's wrestling with her impending passing.

This is why she's vomiting. This is why she doesn't get out of bed (when he takes the kids to school and brings her breakfast in bed. This is why he WANTS to dance with her right now (doesn't say they actually DO). This why there is so much talk about death, mortality, ghosts.

And him pleading "Say You Won't Let Go" is about her not leaving him earlier than she should, due to her illness.

Don't mean to be morbid - but it's a different take that maybe gives the song an alternate feel.
