Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me something I don't know and I will set you free she said
All the stars are out tonight theres nothing you can do
Come on baby hold on tight lets ride this last one through
Just tell me one thing Trudy
I need to know
If theres anything left here for us
Just Let it go come on now
Watch us cut the lines and slide
On the road to nowhere
Everybody's choosing sides
Just tell me one thing Trudy
I need to know
If there's anything left here for us
Just let it go come on now
Tuning out the yelling
Turning on to what we need
All we got's each other baby
Just drop in you'll see
I'll tell you one thing Trudy
You need to know
there's nothing left here for us
Just let it go, come on now
