Let Go

She said she felt guilty about her parents' divorce
Said they're blaming it on me, I said "Of course
Isn't that the way that these things usually end?"
And I could have been better, could have been much worse
In helping her to get rid of this curse
But I said, "Baby, it's much too late to pretend"

Let go, let go
Forget about everything you used to know
This world's turning so fast, we forget so slow
Oh baby, let go

She said she felt funny in a pick-up bar
I said, "So do I, do you have a car?
I'll get the check and meet you right outside"
And as I stood there waiting for my change
Everyone else acting exactly the same
Laughing too loud about jokes of earlier lives

Oh baby, let go, let go
Forget about everything you used to know
This world's moving so fast, we forget so slow
Oh baby, let go

Let go, let go
Forget about everything you used to know
When you're trying that hard, it's bound to show
Oh baby, let go

And once in a while I get my old photographs
Go through them quickly, get rid of them fast
Trying not to place any faces with their names
And then if I can, I watch the six o'clock news
Or read a newspaper, shine new shoes
You can't let them get in the way

Oh baby, let go, let go
Forget about everything we used to know
This world's moving so fast, we forget so slow
Oh baby, let go
