[Intro:]
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…
[Verse 1:]
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
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
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
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 and 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: 2x]
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
