Lyrics
[Verse 1]
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
[Verse 2]
Left you, falling on the floor
Headed for the door, went straight to Philadelphia
Oh no, what have I begun?
Called my mother, said I love her, had another and another one
Questions, questions, suddenly suggestions
Where was anyone at the start of this thing?
Hold that gold up over your shoulder
All I need's a place to grieve
[Verse 3]
Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
[Verse 4]
Oh Lord, I feel alive
I've gone and saved my soul
If all that you read is everything you believe
Then let go, then let go, then let go
[Verse 5]
Now I'm over my head
Acting like I never started over again
I am the city I'm from
Always wanting more than just a word on my arm
Oh, I know, I can't believe
That I'd let it get to me
Good to know I won't become
Everything I'm afraid of
[Verse 6]
Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
[Verse 7]
Oh Lord, I feel alive
I've gone and saved my soul
If all that you read is everything you believe
Then let go, then let go, then let go
[Verse 8]
Mama, don't cry
I was once your little baby boy
So full of love and light
By the time I turned twenty-five
I was lost among the pavement
Lower than the basement
And I couldn't stand to smile
I thought of taking my own life
[Verse 9]
But mama, don't cry
I found songs among the tragic
Hung my hat on sadness
Mom, I think they're trying to keep
The grand romantic in me
Now that we got bottom lines
But mom, I think I'm ready to free
This grand romantic in me
La-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da
[Verse 10]
(Look out, look out)
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
AhHa
[Verse 11]
Oh Lord, I feel alive
I've gone and saved my soul
If all that you read is everything you believe
Then let go, then let go, then let go
Oh Lord, I feel alive
You've gone and reached my soul
If all that you read is everything you believe
Then let go, then let go, then let go
