Did you think I was lonely when you saw me that day?
Well I was only waiting, cuz I wanted you to stay
And did you see all those Sparrows, flying away that day?
Well I couldâve kept them locked up, could have looked at them that way
Ah but I let them go, ah but I let them go, Ah but I let them go
VERSE 1
Hold on to your hat son, youâre gonna miss the ride before youâre done
And you canât rebuild the road youâre driving down
So forget the green eyed girl you loved
When regret is all youâre thinking of, thinking of
Did you think I was lonely when you saw me that day?
Well I was only waiting, cuz I wanted you to stay
And did you see all those Sparrows, flying away that day?
Well I couldâve kept them locked up, could have looked at them that way
Ah but I let them go, ah but I let them go, Ah but I let them go
VERSE 2
Your systemâs overloaded now
You canât find the who what where or how
And itâs hard to know sheâs found another life
And leaves fall, the season learn to change
But heâll learn to give the world his blame, all his blame
BRIDGE
Feet on the ground, find your room again
Watch the colors blend, itâs the last surrender
Could you leave it all behind?
