Hold that gold up over your shoulder All I needs a place to grieve [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance (oh oh woah oh) It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance [Chorus] Oh lord, I feel alive I've gone and saved my soul If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go [Verse 2] Now I'm over my head Acting like I never started over again I am the city I'm from Always wanting more than just a word on my arm Oh, I know, I can't believe That I'd let it get to me Good to know I won't become Everything I'm afraid of [Pre-Chorus] Oh, it's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance (oh oh woah oh) It's for the best you didn't listen It's for the best we get our distance [Chorus] Oh lord, I feel alive I've gone and saved my soul If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go [Bridge] Mama don't cry I was once your little baby boy So full of love and light By the time I turned 25 I was lost among the pavement Lower than the basement And I couldn't stand to smile I thought of taking my own life But mama don't cry I found songs among the tragic Hung my hat on sadness Mom, I think they're trying to keep the grand romantic in me Now that we got bottom lines But mom, I think I'm ready to free this grand romantic in me La -Di - Da, La -Di - Da, La -Di - Da Look out, look out! Ah ha, ha-ah-ah. Ah ha, ha-ah-ah Ah ha, ha-ah-ah. Ah ha, ha-ah-ah Ah ha, ha-ah-ah… [Chorus] Oh lord, I feel alive I've gone and saved my soul If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go Ah Ha Oh lord, I feel alive I've gone and saved my soul If all that you read is everything you believe Then let go, then let go, then let go Ah Ha
