Can't sleep
I turn on my TV
To quiet a mind
That won't stop racing
How I've aged;
Will the kids be okay?
It bitters the fruit I should be tasting

And so I complain 'cause
I missed another sunset
See there I go
Haven't learned my lesson yet

And I've been thinking
Life's for living
I should be laughing
I don't know why I won't let it go
The world is turning
Time goes flying
And I've been fighting
I Don't know why I won't let it go

Sunday, had some time to play
Saw an old Buddhist friend, what a book he's writing
Faced facts,
There's so much I want back
Still, with all that I've got
I had best be biting my tongue

And he reminds me
To notice every sunset
Says I'm looking young
Man I don't feel that quite yet

And I've been thinking
Life's for living
I should be laughing
I don't know why I won't let it go
The world is turning
Time goes flying
And I've been fighting
I Don't know why I won't let it go
Eyes go blurry
From all my worry
I'll set myself free
But then why can't I just let it go
And my friends tell me
I look so happy
Do they see something I don't?

Hear that voice? It's always counting time
To steal half my peace of mind
And there's a loving one and oh yes, I believe in that too
To wake with worry leaves you paralyzed
It lives not just in your mind
It's in my greying hair
What god would put it there?
Man it's hard to trust you.

Daydream, I'd just turned seventeen
Life had barely begun
I was broken hearted
Summer days
Redhead girl gone away
Is it then or much later when child's eyes started to fade?
Gotta get back there someday

And I've been thinking
Life's for living
I should be laughing
I don't know why I won't let it go
The world is turning
Time goes flying
And I've been fighting
I Don't know why I won't let it go
Eyes go blurry
From all my worry
I'll set myself free
But then then why can't I just let it go
Did I imagine
I heard you laughing
Like we're two children?
We just gotta try to let it go.
