Let U Go

(6/08/07)

“ When my long term girlfriend told me she wanted to take a break and spend the summer with her family, I really didn't know what to think. I could have seen it for what it was and begged her to stay, but instead I went numb, unable to decipher the reality of a situation I frankly never considered. I wrote this the week before she left, disbelieving it was the end of us, but deep down, aware of the possibility.”

We did not know each other when she believed in unicorns
And I believed in Superman
But here we stand again in our innocence
She’s like the sand slipping thru my fingers
And I can’t make a fist in time to hold onto one grain
Even castles wash away eventually
CHORUS:
I wish that I could erase my memory
Then all you’d be, then all you’d be is
The greatest thing that never happened in my life
And I don’t wanna let u go
I’m not ready for a girl like you

I used to think I was a man of my word
Promises I made and never kept
Said I’d give you the world, but you deserve much more
And love is an endless abyss of which the sweetest part is the fall
I wish that we could jump and never land at all
Suspended in moments that leave us speechless, and honest, and real
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
As far as I can see, it’s only you and me
Such is this life, so beautiful and so cruel
So back to the board I go and hope
To draw myself kissing your lips again, can we pretend
And can we dream the way children do

If I could replace all the memories with you and me
Then all you’d be, then all you’d be is
The greatest thing that ever happened in my life
And I don’t wanna let u go
Cause I’ll never find a girl like you
If I let u go, if I let u go
Repeat Chorus
