I'm ready to let go, damnit!
Let Go
Drink up baby down
Hmm, are you in or are you out
Leave your things behind
'Cos it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy
Writing your tragedy
These mishaps you bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
So let go, So let go jump in
Oh well what you waiting for
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
So let go-let it go just get in
Oh it's so amazing here
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
It gains the more it gives
And it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later now
You can't await your own arrival
You've twenty seconds to comply
So let go, So let go jump in
Oh well what you waiting for
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
Drink up baby down
Hmm, are you in or are you out
Leave your things behind
'Cos it's all going off without you
Excuse me too busy
Writing your tragedy
These mishaps you bubble-wrap
When you've no idea what you're like
So let go, So let go jump in
Oh well what you waiting for
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
So let go-let it go just get in
Oh it's so amazing here
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
It gains the more it gives
And it rises with the fall
So hand me that remote
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow
Such boundless pleasure
We've no time for later now
You can't await your own arrival
You've twenty seconds to comply
So let go, So let go jump in
Oh well what you waiting for
It's alright
'Cos there's beauty in the breakdown
I recently fell in love with this song.
It was on the soundtrack for the beautifully
written Garden State. It makes me think about things…
I’m so ready to be in a relationship with someone
I’m so ready to be in a relationship with someone
that excites me that way. I’m all set to breakdown for
someone but I haven’t met anyone that will do same for me.
Instead of waiting for this person, I keep
Instead of waiting for this person, I keep
jumping in with people that don’t deserve it.
What is wrong with me, am I just a stupid girl?
I think that the feelings will eventually come and
so I continue these half-ass relationships that
amount to nothing but a broken heart or ego.
I’ve had intense feelings for someone else
I’ve had intense feelings for someone else
two times in my life, so I keep hoping that the next will
bring that same intensity. It never does.
Where can I find him, how can he ever find me?
My mind works in ways that are mysterious to me.
My mind works in ways that are mysterious to me.
I like guys that scream “I’m bad for you and I’ll
never commit to a healthy relationship!”. Yes, only the
tattooed, mohawk wearing, marlboro chain smoking, enough
emotional baggage for three lifetimes kinda dude for this gal.
Conclusion: I may be stupid, but I’m also horribly,
Conclusion: I may be stupid, but I’m also horribly,
heart-wrenchingly lonely in this big city.
I should write, sing, dance, and workout more.
Also try not to date for dating’s sake.
I’ll have to pray that someone will jump in and
breakdown for/with me one day.

When we were going to use this song for church, it was going to be for the service about letting go of our baggage... forgiving ourselves. There's a lot people don't know about me - I hide it behind smiles and jokes - but it's been very hard for me to let go of blame and guilt. This is a great song. It makes you think.
That tension between wanting to exist independently, in need of no one, and wanting to share your life with someone else [preferably someone wildly special to you]... I think it's nothing less than normal, Moo. Neither situation is entirely ideal, or neither state is worthwhile without some experience of the other. Maybe it has to do with patience? Patience to develop one situation while waiting out the other — to work on making your life exactly what you want it to be, so that when it comes time to share it with another person you'll be able to offer that person someone else who is wildly special to you — namely, yourself. Make yourself happy, and you'll make others happy [and then you might just find others make YOU happy, which will make them happy... a virtual mise en abime of happiness]. Good lord, imagine it!
ps: A wide, foggy trans-atlantic hug — now that's my real comment.
