Lyrics: ****** Images of Nikki Lynn came drifting Through my head this morning Long forgotten memories from oh, so long ago And it made me start to wonder Why it is this often happens And why we have a problem Sometimes simply letting go
Oh... Oh...
What value lies within the past What use is waiting there? Why spend so much time wondering When perhaps I shouldn't care? Do the lessons of our past mistakes Really make the future brighter? Is it something I should dwell upon Is it something I should share?
Why can't I let go Why can't I let go
I will let go I will let go I will let go I will let go… ooh
We all have things that we're convinced We can't live without Joined at the hip to a sinking ship Surrounded by a sea of doubt Our reach should be bigger Than our grip on temporary satisfaction Make the finite infinite, the past behind us Lessons learned, a course of action
