[Verse 1]

If you twist and turn away

If you tear yourself in two again

If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go

Surrender, dislocate

[Verse 2]

If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind

Leave this heart of clay, see you break, break away

Into the night, through the rain

To the half light, through the flame

[Verse 3]

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free

I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away

Into the light, through the day

Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!

Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo! Hoo, hoo!

[Chorus]

So let it go, uh huh, and so to fade away

To let it go (A-hah), uh huh, and so fade away

Wide awake, I’m wide awake

I'm not sleeping

Oh no, no, no

I'm not sleeping, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 4]

If they should ask, well maybe

They’d tell me what I would should say

True colours fly in blue and black

Blue bruised silken sky and burning flag

Colours crash, collide in bloodshot eyes

[Verse 5]

If I could, you know I would

If I could, I would let it go

This desperation, separation

Condemnation, resignation, revelation

In temptation, isolation

Desolation, isolation

[Chorus]

Let it go (A-hah), uh huh, and so fade away

To let it go (A-hah), uh huh, and so fade, fade, fade away

Ooh

Oh

Not fade away, hey, hey

Not fade away, no, no, no

No, no, not fade away, ah

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, yeah

Wide awake, I'm wide awake

Wide awake, oh, I'm not sleeping

Oh no, no, no

I'm not sleeping, oh, no, no

[Outro]

Come on down, come on down

Come on down, sing it

Come on down
