Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you twist and turn away
If you tear yourself in two again
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
Surrender, dislocate
[Verse 2]
If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
Leave this heart of clay, see you break, break away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame
[Verse 3]
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day
[Verse 4]
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
Hoo, hoo!
[Chorus]
So let it go, uh-huh
And so to fade away
To let it go, uh-huh
And so fade away
[Chorus]
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
[Verse 5]
If you should ask, well, maybe they'd
Tell you what I should say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes
[Verse 6]
If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go
This desperation
Separation
Condemnation, revelation
In temptation, isolation, desolation
Isolation
[Chorus]
Let it go, uh-huh, and so fade away
Let it go, uh-huh, and so fade, fade, fade away, ooh
No, no, not fade away, hey, hey
Not fade away, no, no, no, not fade away
[Chorus]
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Oh, I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no
I'm not sleeping
[Outro]
Come on down
Come on down
Come on down
Sing it, sing it
Come on down
