Taken from the CD Booklet:

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything I always stepped in time, regardless of the beat I moved my feet, I carried weight What I could not do I faked I dug seeking treasure Just to wake up in an early grave So I stopped right there and said

Go on alone Because I won´t follow But this is giving up No, this is letting go

Out with old Dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own The path will be my own

This is the part where the needle skips And the chorus plays like a sink that drips A syllable repeating Like a warning we aren't heading Until all of a sudden we notice it When the wheels brace and the tires grip A map we've been misreading A defeat we're not conceding until now There must be some other way out

Go on alone Because I won't follow But this isn't giving up No, this is letting go

Out with the old Dreams I've borrowed The path I carve from here on out will be my own A path to take me home

The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said "I don't know why, I just know."

The wind died The whole world ceased to move Now so quiet Her beating heart became a boom We locked eyes For just a moment or two She asked why I said "I don't know why, I just know, I just know."

Go on alone Because I won't follow This isn't giving up No, this is letting go

I made the most Of all this sorrow I tried to brave this discontent But now I'm through I'm letting go of you

This is letting go This is letting go

Once upon a time I could take anything, anything
