there's nothing more to say when its over
could wait another day, but there's no more
so please stop coming back to the matter
let it be it will be better

untie that little string on your finger
and let it swim away in the water
and please resist the urge to dive under
let it be it will be better
let it be it will be better

walk on my friend walk on
there is no need to linger let it go
go on my friend go on
and do what you need to
to get you to where you need

theres nothing you can do when you tire
of things that you one loved but no longer
and please don't hide the tears with your laughter
let it be it will be better

release the little bird on your shoulder
its hard now but its harder when she's older
and please don't change your mind she'll go faster
let it be it will be better
let it be it will be better

walk on my friend walk on
there is no need to linger let it go
go on my friend go on
and do what you need to
to get you to where you need

hiding under the table
like I did when I was small and scared
it's a ways away from places I should clearly be instead
but I've been busy finding places that exist inside my head
