Let Go

An empty stage waits to be set

When I reach this place I try to forget

But the memories seem to grab hold

Saying no, no, no, you can't let us go

This familiar face never felt so new

I see every trace of what I've been through

And as the green leaves turn to gold

And I'm through the air falling slow

Oh, I know it's time to let go

Your eyes are red, your face is too

It started back when you realized no one knew your name

Even though you tried to play their game

And you soon found out that you couldn't live that way

But now you stand there waiting for a sign

Though you've already seen eight, but you hold out for nine

Watching those trains go by you hear those voices saying

Doors are closing, get aboard or step aside

Engines pumping, set to go, you're ready to ride

But could you let go of all that you left behind?

And would you let go now that you know it's time?

Your bags are heavy, they pull your arms down to the ground

And you grip them so tightly the leather's wearing out

But to catch that train, boy, you'd better drop them now

'Cause doors are closing, get aboard or step aside

Engines pumping, set to go, you're ready to ride

But could you let go of all that you left behind?

And would you let go now that you know it's time?

Now you run alongside hearing those voices screaming

Doors are closing, get aboard or step aside

Engines pumping, set to go, you're ready to ride

But could you let go of all that you left behind?

And would you let go now that you know it's time?

Oh, now that you know it's time

Now that you know it's time

Now I know it's time to let go
