Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
|
I always stepped in time, regardless of the beat
|
I moved my feet, I carried weight
|
What I could not do I faked
|
I'm done seeking treasure
|
Just to wake up in an early grave
|
So I stopped right then and said
|
|
Go on alone
|
Because 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
|
This 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
|
A sudden we notice 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
|
Because 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
|
A path to take me home
|
|
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."

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
|
|
Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
