Anchor yourself
to those old salad days.
Grab hold real tight
and do your best
to stop the wheel from spinning.
Oh, yeah;
you know you’re gonna lose,
but I see you gripping on
tight as you can.
You’re gonna break,
and you’re gonna fall,
and no one’s gonna care,
no, no one at all.
Some things in this world
you have to hold on to,
but time isn’t one of them.
Just let go.
Just let go.
Look around you
at all the broken people
who held on too long.
Missing limbs,
disfigured faces,
broken fingers,
healed at wanton angles.
There comes a time
in every life,
when we must
come around the bend.
There are places
we can step away
without going for a ride
over the edge.
Memories
are only that
and nothing more.
Ghosts of who we were,
nothing worth
not living for.
So…
… just let go.
Let go,
fall into your life.
Let go.
Let go.
Save yourself in time.
Let go.
Let go.
There’s no reason why
we have to hold on
until we can
no longer.
Let go.
