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, where I could not do, I faked

And I'm done seeking treasure just to wake up in an early grave

So, I stopped 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 call 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 is said and 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

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



Out with the old dreams I've borrowed

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

A path to take me home



(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)



The wind died, the whole world ceased to move

Now so quiet, 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"



The wind died, the whole world ceased to move

(The wind died)

Now so quiet, her beating heart became a boom

(The wind died)

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

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



I'll make the most of all this sorrow

I've tried to break 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
