letting go

[00:01.17] We were three kids in the backyard
[00:03.92] With a spaceship and a toy car
[00:06.85] It was perfect 'til we had to come inside
[00:12.96] Now we're three men in the same spot
[00:15.99] With a shovel and a shoebox
[00:19.07] It's the first time that we've had to say goodbye
[00:24.87] Well, I know no one wants to dig the hole
[00:30.77] But there's nothing quite like letting go
[00:40.36] It was summer, I was in Maine
[00:42.72] Must have lost her in that timeframe
[00:45.81] If I'm honest, it was hard to be away
[00:51.75] Wrote a love song on my guitar
[00:54.85] Then she dumped me through a postcard
[00:57.99] It's the first time that I knew my heart could break
[01:03.75] Well, I've won and I've lost and it blows
[01:09.60] It's the first and the only love I think I've ever known
[01:15.52] If it's true that what hurts you helps you grow
[01:21.69] Then there's nothing quite like letting go
[01:33.64] No, there's nothing quite like letting go (yeah)
[01:45.69] Oh, there's nothing quite like
[01:48.86] Saw my mother and she asked me
[01:51.83] "How's your brother? Is he happy?"
[01:54.88] He'll be alright, he just needs some room to breathe
[02:00.97] Now we're both here, living on the West Coast
[02:03.96] Kinda back where we started, just doing it alone
[02:07.16] It's not easier, it's just a little bit different
[02:12.97] Still, I know that you'd never let it show
[02:18.46] But I bet that it's scary watching all your kids leave home
[02:24.76] Sometimes plants need a bigger pot to grow
[02:30.63] It's not wrong, it's not right
[02:33.69] Making room in your life
[02:36.83] Oh, there's nothing quite like letting go
[02:52.06] But there's one thing that I'd undo
[02:54.95] When I said I didn't love you
[02:58.48] It was stupid, I was just too scared to see
[03:04.64] But you showed me what it means to be home
[03:08.22] In a world where we'll never have to be alone
[03:11.34] It's so obvious, you're one of a kind
[03:17.40] I'm still learning to give up some control
[03:23.39] I wonder where we'll get married and
[03:27.18] The shade we'll paint our home
[03:29.93] It's not hard to imagine growing old
[03:36.04] With you here in my life
[03:39.33] It's a beautiful ride
[03:42.52] Oh, there's nothing quite like letting go
[03:50.10]
