Lyrics

i think i met her when i was ten
forget the place but i remember when
we both stood naked with our asses in the wind
trying to hang on

her dad was passed out in the car she'd drive
and in her bed all the ghosts came alive
climbed out her window and i ran back home
trying to hang on

and there's something that we all understand
no matter how much i became her man
no matter how much we all get to know
we still gotta let go

she moved away to a school in Mass
cocaine her lover, never went to class
and all the boys she knew made their mark
trying to hang on

and there's something that we all understand
no matter how much our name is in demand
no matter how much we all get to show
we still gotta let go

in the end she had to look away
she got married, i forgot his name
i shook it off and went back down to the bar
trying to hang on

and there's something that we all understand
no matter how much our name is in demand
no matter how much we all get to show
we still gotta let go

and there's something that we all understand
no matter how much i became her man
no matter how much we all get to know
we still gotta let go
