CI got nowhere to go, at least not in a hC7urry
I been travelin' Fslow, I been tryin' not to Fmworry
And the thought Ccrosses my mind, every Amnow and then
What a waste of Ctime Gall this worry has Cbeen
CI could be writing a song or lost in a C7book
Instead of focusing Fon all these wrong turns I Fmtook
I got yesCterday here with mAme in tow
I'll be on my Cway Gand I can let it Cgo
Chorus
FSometimes to see things the right side up you gotta turn things upside Cdown
FSometimes to fly you gotta realize our sky is right here on Cthe ground
FSometimes the answer you're searchin' for is simply I don't CknowAm  
FSometimes the best way to hold Gon... Is just letting Cgo
'Cause we're all just threads in the grand design
And I'm not up ahead, and I'm not behind
And this path I'm on, sometimes it chooses me
When my will is gone, I can finally be free
Chorus - C7  
Sometimes the best way to hold on... Is just letting go
