Let Go Lightly Lyrics

baby we could rent this house
put a fan on the window sill
cause i don't wanna hear that
whippoorwill
or maybe this is our sentence
for all the time we killed
cause i don't wanna hear that
whippoorwill
i'm gonna lose you either way
i'm gonna lose you either way
if i hold on tightly
or i let go light

now baby, when you say my name
it almost sounds absurd
well, i don't wanna hear that
mockingbird
you don't whisper it sweet
you say it like a curse word
i don't wanna hear that
mockingbird
i'm gonna lose you either way
i'm gonna lose you either way
if i hold on tightly
or i let go light

there must be a number
and a corresponding house
baby, when the door is closed
the windows let it out
and she comes by
begging for one sweet, lonely sin
but the door, it opens out
so you can't kick it in
and her father
sweet old man he is
comes by to lend a hand
darlin', i told you all along
i only partly understand
and she comes by
begging for that lonely sin again
saying "you'd rather be a liar
than an honest, lonely man."
i'm gonna lose you either way
i'm gonna lose you either way
if i hold on tightly
or i let go lightly
if i hold on tightly
or i let go lightly
