Lyrics
When I first saw you my mouth went dry
You pretended that you had a guy
I told you I thought we'd met before
But it took me a year to unlock your door
It's kinda funny now in retrospect
All the things about me you reject
Are all that reasons that I said goodbye
You'd say jump and I would say "how high?"
It was nothing that important
I just lost my voice
You said you might go exploring
I say that's a choice...
I release you
back into the night
May your path be blessed
May your heart turn bright
I release myself
I'll repeat myself
I release you
I release myself
So I'm gonna walk this next stretch on my own
You say "Baby, I'll see you down the road"
Yeah, "maybe catch ya somewhere down the line"
I say you put too much faith in time
It was nothing that important
I just lost my voice
You said you might go exploring
I say that's a choice...
I release you
Back into the night
May your path be blessed
May your heart turn bright
I'll release myself
I'll repeat myself
I'll release you
I release myself
And so we burn it
down, down.
