Let Go

About patience more than anything and respecting boundaries. You have to dig for diamonds.

Recording made in FAWM 2011 - horrible sibilance accidentally introduced through bad mixing! (which was minimal anyway - 1 take in the kitchen!)

GUILLOTINE

[VERSE 1]
I don’t wanna make something out of nothing
I don’t wanna make the first move
I don’t wanna be the one to say it 
And I don’t wanna talk too soon

[PRE-CHORUS]
But there’s something awkward between us
And I don’t wanna let things lie

[CHORUS A]
I just want you to open up
Like the sky in June
Or like a camera lens
When you hold me in view
I just want you to open up
But not like an empty room
Or a guillotine
If you’re gonna come down on me

[CHORUS B]
I’ve never jumped from so high 
Or got myself in so deep
There’s something holding you back
Some thing you can not repeat
Some thing you can not repeat



[VERSE 2]
There’s nothing there that we can’t leave ‘til later
There’s no real need to move on
It’s something beautiful and something new but
We don’t need to talk about it

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
But there’s something, yeah something between us
Yeah there’s something 
And I don’t wanna let things lie

[REPEAT CHORUS A]

[CHORUS B2]
I’ve never jumped from so high 
Or got myself in so deep
There’s something holding you back
Some thing you can not repeat

[MIDDLE 8]
Aah Aah I’m with you now
Aah Aah I will show you how
It’s just a balancing act
So take you heart in your hands
There’s nothing holding you back 
There’s nothing to understand
There’s nothing to understand

[REPEAT CHORUS A]
[REPEAT CHORUS B]
