lyrics

Used to believe in faded horoscopes
Unseen words in hidden enveloppes
The secret world on which I pinned my hopes
Led me out into the great unknown

A hundred ballots at the record store
In a mall that isn’t there no more
It all crumbled to the wrecking ball
On the arc that’s swingin for us all

I know, I know
All the things we love, we have to learn to let them go
I know, I know
All the things we love are only here on loan.

Misguided times I tried to bleach my hair
Daydreaming one day I would go somewhere
A somersault into the open air
Floating in between a truth or dare

Used to believe in serendipity
Like that explained what had been done to me
A constellation built out of probabilities
Like a thousand people praying on two thousand bended knees

I know, I know
All the things we love, we have to learn to let them go
I know, I know
All the things we love are only here on loan.

Glided in on rented roller skates
It was my first but not my last mistake
All the friendships and the bonds we make
Have a tendency to drift away

But all of that was just a golden haze
And when I look back on those younger days
Wonder how I missed all the signs and evidence
As I sailed into the ever-waiting arms the abyss

I know, I know
All the things we love, we have to learn to let them go
I know, I know
All the things we love are only here on loan.
I know, I know
All the things we love, we have to learn to let them go
I know, I know
All the things we love are only here on loan.
