lyrics

Well I know you can't have it all
But fear of exclusion builds fortified walls
When just what I wanted is placed in my hands
It's so hard to exchange it for all my demands

Because I'm still learning to let myself go
I don't know what I don't know
So untie my rope from the shore
Cause I finally forfeit the war

I've been selfish and fiercely alone
Like a child inside, only outwardly grown
Attached to the feeling that nobody cares
And so scared to admit that I want to come home

Because I'm still learning to let myself go
I don't know what I don't know
So untie my rope from the shore
Cause I finally forfeit the war

Frozen in time more alive than I've ever been
Caught in the waves like a dream but I'm more awake now
Than I was when I thought I was under control

Cause I'm still learning to let myself go
I don't know what I don't know
So untie my rope from the shore
Cause I finally forfeit the war
