Let me go
Tonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Home, home is like an open road
Where you will always find
Whatever you've been looking for
And grace, always in a hollow place
I will never change and I will always stay my way

People scatter, when loves the matter
I won't let it show

Let me go
Let me go away again
Let me change my direction
I can't take that rejection again
Let me go, let me go
I'll find my own

Way, I never thought I'd change my ways
It was an angry thought
That made me turn the other way
And I, I want to be like that again
When I know there's hope
And hope will always find a friend

People scatter, when loves the matter
I won't let it show

Let me go
Let me go away again
Let me change my direction
I won't take that rejection
Let me go, let me go
I'll find my own way home

Let me go
Let me go away again
Let me change my direction
I won't take that rejection




Let me go, let me go
I'll find my own way home
