Just Let Go

You remember your worst hangovers

But forget your best drunks

You never notice all the times you win

But you know when you get skunked

I think you’ve found a cure for hopefulness:

Setting your expectations low

Best day ever and still you’re convinced

It’s gonna blow

The close things look so far

The easy things look so hard

And what feels like holding on

Is really just letting go

You can’t feel the solid foundation

It’s all the leaking of the roof

No silver lining and no glass half full

Made your life happiness-proof

You can’t see the good inside yourself

The funny, smart, and beautiful

The whole package, and still you’re convinced

It’s gonna blow

Counting 4-3-2-1

Collateral damage done

And what feels like holding on

Is really just letting go

Measure it by the megaton

The fallout will blackout the sun

And what feels like holding on

Is really just letting go

I want to grab you by the shoulders and shake

But too tight, you just slip away

And what feels like holding on

Is really just letting go
