Release

I've turned so many pages now
I've read the whole damn book
I've worn out my welcome here
I can tell by the way they look

David had Bathsheba
on a hot summer's night
We all make mistakes
that doesn't make it all right
doesn't make it all right

Release
All that you've accrued
Release
Move past any
Move past any feud

Bridges they don't need to burn
With time they'll decay on their own
If you don't find a new road
One day you'll be alone

I resolve to move ahead
and to see things through
But you're not laughing with me
If I'm not laughing too
And I'm not laughing too

Release
Settle any debts
Release
Live without their
Live without their threats


Release
Stop running for awhile
Release
Try to recon-
Try to reconcile

Faded opportunities, friendships lost
Forgotten inspirations, draining cost

You can believe what you want
And just continue on
Whether you let things go or not,
makes no difference, they are gone.

You can hold on forever
And always be resigned
But some ghosts do not linger
They are only in your mind
Only in your mind

Release
All that you've accrued
Release
Move past any
Move past any feud

Release
Settle any debts
Release
Live without their
Live without their threats

Release
Stop running for awhile
Release
Try to recon-
Try to reconcile

Release
Try to settle down
Release
Before you finally
Before you finally drown
