Let It Go Lyrics
I'm on the inside, everybody knows what you will say
Leaves on the ground already came
Leaves on the ground already came
We were an island, you were the one who broke away
I was a mess before you came
I was a mess before you came
Ooooh, ooh, ooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, ooh-ooh
We started something, tried to make a fire without a flame
Why it wasn't right I couldn't say
Why it wasn't right I couldn't say
There's a light in the sky and it's coming up high
And why did I ever go?
The longest night I've ever known
The longest night I've ever known
Only when the moon is high enough
Only when the stars are lining up
Let it go - now is not the answer
How can anybody else have known?
Let it go - now is not the answer
Call me when you see the sun lie low
You were the ocean - I was drawn into you
But you can't always get where you are going to
Where are we going? Where are we going?
There are mountains to climb, so let me carry you
Only when the moon is high enough
Only when the stars are lining up
Let it go - now is not the answer
How can anybody else have known?
Let it go - now is not the answer
Call me when you see the sun lie low
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooooh...
Leaves on the ground already came
Leaves on the ground already came
I was a mess before you came
I was a mess before you came
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh, ooh-ooh
Why it wasn't right I couldn't say
Why it wasn't right I couldn't say
And why did I ever go?
The longest night I've ever known
The longest night I've ever known
Only when the stars are lining up
How can anybody else have known?
Let it go - now is not the answer
Call me when you see the sun lie low
But you can't always get where you are going to
Where are we going? Where are we going?
There are mountains to climb, so let me carry you
Only when the stars are lining up
How can anybody else have known?
Let it go - now is not the answer
Call me when you see the sun lie low
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oooh, ooooh

One great review said that this song is about "realising being in relationship that has no future" and some break-up thoughts. FAUX! I think that the music video explains it well. The "let it go" is not the answer, because they are some problems in relationship, but it can be fixed. It is about the hope, not letting it go. Really take a look at the music video.
The singer is in the inside, with his vision clouded, and wants to stay that way regardless of what others will say to deter him.
Leaves on the ground already came- It has passed in the physical sense but the memory lingers
We were an island, you were the one who broke away- We were in this life together, then you broke up with me
Tried to make a fire without a flame- Tried to create love without a solid foundation
There's a light in the sky and it's coming up high- optimism/hope
Longest night I have ever known- a dark period that looms for an extended period
Only when the moon is high enough Only when the stars are lining up - This is when we can be together again
Let it go- now is not the answer- Don't reach out, wait patiently
Call me when you see the sun lie low- Call me when you think the day is beginning/ a sunrise/ after this extended night
This is a song about not getting over someone, but feeling it's right, being broken up with and allowing for time to pass and the person to let him know when she feels hop again too.
