A Modern Way Of Letting Go

Idlewild

If I know what I know

that no one will watch over you

and someone shouldn't really tell me

what I want to know

I know oh ho

I know that matters don't matter as much

as you think they do



'Cause you will only be yourself

and you can never be yourself

and you will only be yourself

when you understand what you know



How long will we go on

with the modern way of letting go

Tell me how long will we go on

with the modern way of letting you go



If I know what I know

losing isn't learnin' to be lost

its learnin' to know when you're lost

and I know what I know

I wanna make the most of what it seems like



You will only be yourself

and you can never be yourself

And you will only be yourself

when you understand what you know



How long will we go on

with the modern way of letting you go

Tell me how long will we go on

with the modern way of letting you go.
