Let Go
Joanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wonderin' who I would be
If you were sleeping next to me
Would this room feel alive?

Empty walls are closing in
Feel your breath dance on my skin
Shut the doors in my mind
You never know
What you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind

I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
All I know is that I can't breathe
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me

Wonderin' what I would say
If I permit myself to change
Let you live in my eyes

I'll do my best to not behave
Fearlessly I'll be afraid
Never walk a straight line

You never know
What you might find
When you fly like life
Like life is blind

I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
All I know is that I can't breathe
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me

I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna sleep and let it wake me
All I know is that I can see
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me

I don't know, I don't know
Just let go, let go

It's time to let it go, it's time to let it go
It's time to let go
It's time to let it go, it's time to let it go
It's time to let go

You never know
What you might find
Until you spread your wings
And fly

I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna wait and let it break me
All I know is that I can't breathe
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me

I don't know what tomorrow brings
But I'm not gonna sleep and let it wake me
All I know is that I can see
So I'll go where the wind decides to take me





I don't know, I don't know
Just let go

lyrics

It's a touch without feelings
It's a kiss without love
It's the faith that we're losin' and the truth that we hide
It's a tear without cryin'
It's a word with no sound
It's my heart full of sorrow and a lover left behind

Keep me from fallin from fallin
(You gotta set me free)
Keep me from cryin from cryin
(And now its clear to see)
I'm leavin I'm leavin
(That it's time to let me be)

Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye
But the time has come, let me spread my wings
It's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye, but the time has come
Let me spread my wings, it's time to let me fly

It's a room full of silence
It's a day without light
Well anger keeps risin', and there's nothing left to say
Put your face at the window
It's the world passing by
And the life that we shared and the love that belonged
Turned to pain along the way

Keep me from fallin' from fallin'
(You gotta set me free)
Keep me from cryin from cryin'
(And now its clear to see)
I'm leavin I'm leavin
(That it's time to let me be)

Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye
But the time has come, let me spread my wings
It's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye, but the time has come
Let me spread my wings, it's time to let me fly
Yeah, yeah

Slide, slide, slide

Come on baby let it slide
Slide slide slide
Come on baby let it slide

Let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye
But the time has come let me spread my wings, time to let me fly
Come on baby let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye
The time has come to let me spread my wings it's time to let me fly
Let it slide let it slide let it slide
I know it hurts when I say goodbye but
The time has come let me spread my wings it's time to let me fly
