Eddie Vedder – Save It For Later 

This is one of those rare covers where the whole tenor of the song changes with a new vocalist and arrangement. It feels like a new song all together but it still honors the original. I just love it.

However, “Save It For Later” by Eddie Vedder is a heartfelt song that really captures the feelings of love and longing.

With that said, “Save It For Later” by Eddie Vedder is a song about taking a moment to pause and reflect, especially when life gets complicated for you.

Lyrics:

Two dozen other dirty lovers

Oh, must be a sucker for it

Cry but I don’t need my mother

Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it

Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it for later, don’t run away, let me down

Sooner or later, you’ll hit the deck, you’ll get found out

Save it for later, don’t run away and let me down, you let me down

Run away, run away, let me down

Black air and seven seas, all rotten through

But what can you do?

I don’t know how I’m meant to act with all of you lot

Sometimes, I don’t try

I just, “Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na”

Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it for later, don’t run away, and let me down

Sooner or later, you’ll hit the deck, you’ll get found out

Save it for later, don’t run away, don’t run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, let me down

Run away, run away

Two dozen other stupid reasons

Why we should suffer for this

Don’t bother trying to explain them

Just hold my hand while I come to a decision on it

Sooner or later, your legs give way, you hit the ground

Save it for later, don’t run away, and let me down

Sooner or later, you’ll hit the deck, you’ll get found out

Save it for later, don’t run away, don’t run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, let me down

Run away, run away…

Run away, don’t run away, don’t run away

Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away

Don’t run away, don’t run away, don’t run away

And run away, and run away, and run away, and run away

Why don’t you hold me?

Why don’t you hold me and kiss me now?

Why don’t you just hold me?

Hold me and kiss me now

Run away, run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, and let me down

Run away, run away, and let me down

…..THE END
