I'm trying to learn and I'm dying to know
When to move on and when to let it go
A curious feeling no one can explain
And I just don't know if I'll risk it again
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
So you swallow your heart and you swallow your pride
You gotta be tough if you wanna survive
They'll chew you up and they'll eat you alive
But never give up on the dreams in your mind
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
We walk, we walk on
Our time, our time will come
We walk, we walk
Our time, oh oh oh oh!
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
Woah oh oh,
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
When to move on and when to let it go
A curious feeling no one can explain
And I just don't know if I'll risk it again
When the future's so unclear
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
You gotta be tough if you wanna survive
They'll chew you up and they'll eat you alive
But never give up on the dreams in your mind
When the future's so unclear
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
Our time, our time will come
We walk, we walk
Our time, oh oh oh oh!
When the future's so unclear
When the future's so unsure
When the future's so unclear
Woah oh oh,
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh

When I first listened to this song it honestly brought me to tears and it still does most times I listen to it “when to move on and when to let it go” just plain and simple is about the sadness and uncertainty about when to let the person you know you have to let go go it’s about hanging on to the hope of the chance that the person you have unrequited love for will turn around and tell you they love you back or an ex that you still have feelings for it’s the uncertainty in not knowing if an ex or crush or person you love loves you back and it’s about the ache you get in your chest when finding out they’ve moved on or the just complete uncertainty (sorry I keep using that word) if not knowing if they feel the same but also the feeling of reject of finding out they don’t and the feeling of embarrassment of loving someone who doesn’t give it back “so you swallow your heart and you swallow pride” by swallow they mean hide or loose you loose your heart soul pride and even joy holding onto someone who doesn’t feel the same or from hiding your feelings for them scared of knowing the truth in how they feel towards you
