Lyrics

Left you, falling on the floor Headed for the door, went straight to Philadelphia Oh no, what have I begun? Called my mother, said I love her, had another and another one Questions, questions, suddenly suggestions Where was anyone at the start of this thing? Hold that gold up over your shoulder All I need's a place to grieve Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance, oh It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance Oh Lord, I feel alive! I've gone and saved my soul! If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go! But now I'm over my head Acting like I never started over again I am the city I'm from Always wanting more than just a word on my arm Oh, I know, I can't believe that I'd let it get to me Good to know, I won't become everything I'm afraid of Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance, oh It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance Oh Lord, I feel alive! I've gone and saved my soul! If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go! Mama, don't cry I was once your little baby boy so full of love and light By the time I turned 25 I was lost among the pavement, lower than the basement And I couldn't stand to smile, I thought of taking my own life But mama, don't cry I found songs among the tragic, hung my hat on sadness Mom, I think they're trying to keep the grand romantic in me Now that we got bottom lines But mom, I think I'm ready to free this grand romantic in me La di da, la di da, la di da Look out, look out! Oh Lord, I feel alive! I've gone and saved my soul! If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go! Oh Lord, I feel alive! It's right here in my soul! So if all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go!
