Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Heard a lot of talk about the ocean
Heard a lot of talk about the sea, now
Heard a lot of talk about a lot of things
Never meant that much to me
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain were better friends
So I let it go
Did you let it go, love?
Did you let it go, our love?
Did you let it go, my friend?
Well, let's get it back
Let's get it back, together, yeah
Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus
A man of love and a man of strength
But what a man was two thousand years ago
Means nothing at all to me today
He could have been telling me about my higher self
But he only lives inside my prayer
So what he was may have been beautiful
But the pain is right now and right here
Let it go, our love
Let it go, our love
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Let's get it back together
If you let it go, no
Let it go, our love
Let it go, my friend
And let's get it back
Let's get it back together
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it up?
Did you give it?
Did you give it up?
And if you let it go, love
Let it go, our love
C'mon, let it go, my friend
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together
Let it go, love
Let it go, yeah, now
Let it go, my friend
Let's get it back
Let's get it back together
