"Let Go" lyrics

"Let Go"

Pink as a rose, the sun is fading
Can you feel the darkness that surrounds the house?
Plain as the truth, my breath is bated
It pinches like a trap shut around the mouse

Let down the rope 'cause we fell in
Let down the rope
Hanging 'round the wishing well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go
Let go
Let go
Let go of it

Driving at night beside the river
Looking at it, it's going nowhere
Dark as a room with the light shut out
I'm feeling 'round the walls for another way out

Let down the rope 'cause we fell in
Let down the rope
Hanging 'round the wishing well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Cross your fingers behind your back
And lie to me
Tell me it's okay and you'll fix everything
'Cause I let go

Pink as a rose, the sunset's fading
Shattering the light on the oceanside
Standing alone, I am not waiting
Maybe I'm asleep, my heart is paralyzed

Put down the rope 'cause we fell in
Put down the rope
Hanging 'round the wishing well
It's a slippery slope
And I let go
Let go
Let go
Let go of it
