[Verse 1] Ive been leaving messages On an answering machine In a house thats always empty, so I know nobodys listening Ive been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss The silence makes me sick No good can come from this [Chorus] Im letting go Ive been hanging on like poison ivy Out of cold suburban concrete From this careless urban sprawl Im letting go You know we cant keep out of trouble I thought my kids would call you uncle I thought wed never be alone [Verse 2] Well I got images Of you inside my head Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift Its carcrash rhetoric We fucked up everything we came in contact with Just boyhood recklessness [Chorus] Im letting go Ive been hanging on like poison ivy Out of cold suburban concrete From this careless urban sprawl Im letting go You know we cant keep out of trouble I thought my kids would call you uncle I thought wed never be alone [Bridge] If you walked me home Then youd know how weak my arms got I just cant carry you If you walked me home Well, I know that Id have flashbacks Of snow angels and gut laughs If you walked me home But you wont, youre all alone On some bullshit, pillbottle vision quest If you walked me home Well, I dont know when I would finally Work up the backbone To walk alone [Outro] Im letting go Cause I loved you But I have to Im letting go You know we cant keep out of trouble I thought my kids would call you uncle I thought wed never be alone Im letting go If you walked me home...
