[Verse 1]
Cold as it was for a winter's day
The sun came out ’cause the sky was grey
The wolves are back, they've come to play
I thought I heard your father say
Go down to the tunnel where the Devil wants ya
Out to the street where the people hunt ya
It hurt more than it was supposed to
[Chorus]
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't ’til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
[Verse 2]
Out of the grey, into the woods
I take my chances, I know I should
When the light comes, listen closely
Follow my shadow to the old me
Mother of the moon, tell me what to do
Shit is scary, shit is new
The tide is calling out for changes
Oh, what an ocean of time that we wasted
[Chorus]
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
[Bridge]
I had to pay for all of your bad behavior
But expensive lessons are always the best to know
[Chorus]
I'm not waiting for the let go
Don't need any of your say so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
[Outro]
I was waiting for the let go
I swore I wouldn't 'til you said so
I put the pieces back together
So thank you or whatever
Nothing lasts forever, man, I guess so
Waiting for the let go
Waiting for the let go
Huh, haha

Thinking of “The Let Go,” it’s interesting because when the idea first popped into my head… yeah, sure, I could write it as another relationship song, but why not sing about releasing all things that are poisonous? That are put on me throughout my life, from society, growing up? So many times, I tho...
