Lyrics:

let it go

we get a little faded the colours go
running out of all our clothes
and the flash don't light when the battery's low

when you could stamp a foot down through the floor
it's a better plan by far
to blow off the roof and let in the dark
so we better get started

and if i were you, i'd let it go
and feel it all over inside like a chemical
cause to tell the truth i don't know
if it's ever over

(chorus)
we don't need a cure for the weight of the world
cause it's floating round in the universe
just swinging like it's tied by a string that you own
let it go

we could dig a hole right down into
somewhere it's deep as black and blue
and fill it with a crowd and the sound of right now

and we could carve a tunnel under
and find out just how low it goes, it goes
and we run out of dirt on the other side when we see the light

and if i were you, i'd look up
and find a place there in the sky where there's room enough
to spread it out, and out now
the greater than when you come down

(chorus)
we don't need a cure for the weight of the world
cause it's floating round in the universe
just swinging like it's tied by a string that you own
let it go

let it go
let it go

when you could stamp a foot down through the floor
it's a better plan by far
to go off the roof and let in the dark, let in the dark, dark, dark
so we better get started, started, started
yeah we better get started, started, started

(chorus)
we don't need a cure for the weight of the world
cause it's floating round in the universe
just swinging like it's tied by a string that you own
let it go
let it go
let it go
let it go
