Let It Go
(Anderson)

Pulling the last of my life from a shelf (pages and pages of me)
A pretense grown into myself
That was fun, but it's done
That was youth and its time to let it go
Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

I sometimes wake up jealous of my own remembered past,
The melancholy prayers I spoke to make the first love last

Finding a photo of nights that have died (pictures and pictures of her)
Reliving the lives that I've tried
It was fun, but it's done
That was youth and it's time to let it go
Let it go. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

I never knew I'd know you, you elusive happiness
Finding love like a duchess in a bright blue picnic dress

Let's go
