Once upon a time
I could take anything, anything
Always stepped in time
Regardless of the beat, I moved my feet
I carried weight
But I could not do a fate
I'm done seeking treasure
Just to wake up in a lonely grave
So I stopped right then and said

Go on alone, 'cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no
This is letting go
I want the old
Dreams of the road
The paths all call to me
Ride out to be my own
The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips
And chorus plays like a sink that drips
A syllable repeating
Like a warning we are heeding
Until all of the sudden we notice it
When the wheels brace and the tires grip
A map we've been misreading
A defeat we're not conceding
Until now how must I chew my own way out?

Go on alone
'Cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no
This is letting go
I want the old
Dreams of the road
The paths all call to me
Ride out to be my own
A path to take me home

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

The wind died, the whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet, her beating heart become a boom
We locked eyes for just a moment or two
She asked why, I said "I don't know why, I just know"

The wind died, the whole world ceased to move
Now so quiet, her beating heart become a boom
We locked eyes for just a moment or two
She asked why, I said "I don't know why, I just know
I just know, I just know"

Go on alone
'Cause I won't follow
This isn't giving up, no
This is letting go
I'll make the most
Of all this sorrow
I tried to brace all this contempt
But now I'm through
I'm letting go of you
Whoa (this is letting go)

This is letting go
Whoa
This is letting go

Once upon a time, I could take anything, anything
