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…
Left you, falling on the floor
Headed for the door
Went straight to Philadelphia.
Oh no, what have I begun?
Called my mother, said I love her
Had another and another one.
Questions, questions, suddenly suggestions.
Where was anyone at the start of this thing?
Hold that gold up over your shoulder
Alls I needs a place to grieve.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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...
Look out, look out!
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!
Oh lord, I feel alive!
It's right here in my soul!
So if all that you read is everything you believe
Then let go, then let go, then let go!
(Ah ha, ha-ah-ah)
