The Art Of Letting Go

Hm

The river only flows one way
Stop swimmin' upstream
Drop the weight

(Hey) carryin' a ghost in a heavy sack
Always lookin' over your shoulder, always lookin' back, uh
Scumblin' the edges of a faded view
Tryin' to paint the old mistakes into something new

Clear the room, find a minimalist's peace
Let the heavy structures and the tension release
So sweep the floors, let the raw wood show
You can't control the wind, just let it blow

Yesterday is closed, tomorrow is a guess
Find a little beauty in the current mess
Exhale the past, let the frequency drop
Once you start movin', there's no reason to stop

Let it go, let it flow
There is nothing in the rearview you need to know
Don't look back to the fadin' light
We are movin' forward into the night

Yeah, release the grip
Mm, just enjoy the trip

You can't rewrite it, so stop tryin'
So stop tryin', so stop tryin'
So stop tryin', so stop tryin'

Unclench your jaw, relax your spine
Stop tryin' to bend the straightest line
The past is just a story that you tell yourself
Leave that heavy book on a dusty shelf

Earth tones blendin' as the memory fades
Walkin' right out of the dark arcades
Yesterday is closed, tomorrow is a guess
Find a little beauty in the current mess

Exhale the past, let the frequency drop
Once you start movin', there's no reason to stop

Breathe in the future
Breathe out the ghosts
The things you can't change are what hurt you the most

Let them fall away
Don't look back
Keep walkin'
Let it drop

Don't look back
Don't look back
Keep walkin'
Let it drop

Don't look back
Don't look back
Don't look back

The river only flows one way, mm

Chill out, chill out (whoo!)
Mm, chill out
Chill out

Mm, chill out
Mm, mm, mm, mm
