I hear you're out west In the land of the Sun

Looking for truth with an LA shaman

And dancing with fire on the shores of the sea

All the things that you want are still out of reach

And you start to think (start to think)

That your love won't last (your love won't last)

Sometimes the hardest thing (hardest thing)

Is letting go of the past (is letting go)

We're letting go of the past

I remember lying back on the hood of your car

Bathed in the light of the North Georgia stars

And dreaming of life some place new (dreaming of life some place new)

I never thought it would be without you (I never thought it would be without you)

And I start to think (start to think)

That my love won't last (my love won't last)

Sometimes the hardest thing (hardest thing)

Is letting go of the past (is letting go)

We're letting go of the past

And when life let's you down (life let's you down)

(I won't be there) and when your friends all skip town

(I won't be there) and when they put you in the ground

(I won't be there) I won't be there

So here we are, the ghosts of the flame

Full of regret and shrouded in pain

And if we had it all to do again (if we had it all to do again)

It would be the same there's no use to pretend (it would be the same there's no use to pretend)

And you start to think (start to think)

That your love won't last (your love won't last)

Sometimes the hardest thing (hardest thing)

Is letting go of the past (is letting go)

We're letting go of the past
