Let It Slide
Joanna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 theres 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....

Comeon baby let it slide
Slide slide slide
Comeon 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
Comeon 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

I remember when i used to work out to this song everyday. Lost 40lbs. This song helped me move on from a relationship and into my goals of losing weight and becoming the best that i can be. Let it slide- was letting go and focus on the real shit.
