[Intro]
[Verse]
I ain’t writt
en a love song
in so long as
your hair lea
ds down your s
pine
If you don’t
mind, being mi
ne for the nig
ht, or the res
t of time,
Let your hips
and lips and
your fingertip
s slip against
the city stre
ets
Seeping in ag
ain, I'm sleep
ing in while m
y friends get
high on the ed
ge of Westside
Highway
[Verse]
Did you ever
make it back t
o Byron Bay?
The day that
you told me to
quit drinking
And thinking
that I's gonna
die before th
irty, your mom
was so worrie
d about
All us kids i
n the house te
aring picture
frames down
Cause' our fa
thers were nev
er around when
we were young
er
[Chorus]
So let it go
I saw you on t
he river's edg
e
Dragging on a
plastic cigar
ette
With your swi
m top still we
t
So let it go,
I'm meeting y
ou out on the
coast
You hate the
smell of real
smoke
Why'd you alw
ays keep it so
cold?
[Verse]
We're collect
ing shells out
on the baysho
re you know I
was a shell be
fore
Deep in the h
ands of anothe
r my brother t
old me to leav
e, but I didn'
t believe
the evil bene
ath some peopl
e you meet out
in Queens
The way the r
ain came down
the other day
in Byron Bay
Made me feel
so alone, so I
just went hom
e, scribbled s
ome poem that
I know that sh
e'll never rea

[Chorus]
So let it go
I saw you on t
he river's edg

Dragging on a
plastic cigar

With your swi

So let it go,
I'm meeting y
ou out on the
coast
You hate the
smell of real
smoke
Why'd you alw
ays keep it so
cold?
[Outro]
Let it go I s
aw you on the
river's edge
Let it go I s
aw you on the
river's edge
Dragging on a
plastic cigar

With your swi
