How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go
Let it go
How do you know when it’s time
To carry on and let those old roots die?
How do you know when it’s right
To let it burn and be swallowed up in the tide?
You never knew
It lived inside you
How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go
Let it go
What do you need from the past?
It’s underground and decomposing fast
Why do you need it to last?
Nothing will and nothing ever has
You never knew
It lived inside you
It’s out of your hands
And into the land
How long does it take
For the trees to become driftwood in your mind?
And how far will you go
To leave on the light of longing when it’s time
To let it go
