This Is Letting Go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything

Always stepped in time, regardless of the beat

I moved my feet, I carried weight

What I could not do I faked

And I dug seeking treasure

Just to wake up in an early grave

So I stepped right there and said

Go on alone 'cause I won't follow

This isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

Out with the old, dreams I've borrowed

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips

And the chorus plays like a sink that drips

A syllable repeating, like a warning we aren't heeding

Until all of the sudden we noticed it

When the wheels brace and the tires grip

A map we've been misreading

A defeat we're not conceding until now

There must be some other way out

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow

But this isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

Out with the old, dreams I've borrowed

The path I carve from here on out will be my own

A path to take me home

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

The wind died, (The wind died) the whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet, (So quiet) her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes (We locked eyes) for just a moment or two

She asked why? I said, "I don't know why? I just know"

The wind died, (The wind died) the whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet, (The wind died) her beating heart became a boom

We locked eyes for just a moment or two

She asked why? I said, "I don't know why? I just know"

I just know

Go on alone 'cause I won't follow

But this isn't giving up, no, this is letting go

I made the most of all this sorrow

I tried to brave this discontent, but now I'm through

I'm letting go of you

(This is letting go)

This is letting go

This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
