When You Let Go

(ooh, mm-mm)

Chlorine stinging in the fading light Fluorescent sign buzzing in the night

Boxes piled high in our rusty car

We drove all day just to get this far

I was shivering, clinging to your neck Afraid of the dark and

the water's depth

You whispered softly, "just look at the stars"

We are bigger than where we are

And you let go,

and I learned to float Keeping our heads up,

staying afloat In a cheap motel pool,

we found our way

You gave me the courage to face the day (yeah-eah)

Now twenty years have slipped on by

And I look back at that desert sky

We had no money,

we had no plan

But you held my future inside your hand

When you let go,

and I learned to float Keeping our heads up,

staying afloat In a cheap motel pool,

we found our way You gave me the courage to face the

day

I learned to float...

(mm-mm, you let go)
