When to Let It Go

In my eyes
You were like a garden reaching for the skies
But you just need another kind of atmosphere
For all your shoots and leaves to fully grow

But for a thousand days
It was either tumbleweeds or tidal waves
Why can't there be something somewhere in between
The answer to a riddle we don't know

Oh... we might never know
When to let it go

It ain't my place
But darling did you know that I adore your face
All the slight expressions that you always made
Right until the day you said goodbye

We embrace
The night just like the winter taking Autumn's place
Fill the fire up with all our summer dreams
And sink into that cold December night

Oh... we might never know
When to let it go

Content yourself
Down along your spine where you invent yourself
Taking all the time you need to feel the weight
Of never ending distance out in space

There it seems
Underneath the covers of our farthest dreams
We are birds that fly into a hurricane
And come at last into a better place

Oh... we might never know
When to let it go

Strings that tie
The paper to the package like the reasons why
We never should have acted like we were in love
'Cause we both knew the strings would finally break

Now I find
That love is so much more than a state of mind
But you think love ain't really all that hard to find
I don't know the gamble that you take

Oh... we might never know
When to let it go
