This Is Letting Go
Once upon a time I could take anything, anything.Always stepped in time, regardless of the beatI moved my feet, I carried weightWhat I could not do I fakedAnd I dug seeking treasureJust to wake up in an early graveSo I stopped right then and said
Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow.But this isn't giving up, no this is letting goOut with the old dreams I've borrowedThe path I carve from here on out will be my ownThe path will be my own
This is the part where the needle skipsAnd the chorus plays like a sink that dripsA syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heedingUntil all of a sudden we notice itWhen the wheels brace and the tires gripA map we've been misreadingA defeat we're not concedingUntil nowThere must be some other way out
Go on alone, 'cause I won't followBut this isn't giving up, no this is letting goOut with the old dreams I've borrowedThe path I carve from here on out will be my ownA path to take me home
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
The wind diedThe whole world ceased to moveNow so quietHer beating heart became a boomWe locked eyesFor just a moment or twoShe asked whyI said "I don't know whyI just know"

Go on alone, 'cause I won't followBut this isn't giving up, no this is letting goI made the most of all this sorrowI tried to brave this discontent but now I'm throughI'm letting go of you.
