ready to let go

Singer:cage the elephant

sun went down

sun went down

over pompeii

on both sides the vow was broken

oh my my

i'm the one

tryin' to hide this damage done

one day

all our secrets will be spoken

as we slow danced

i became your statue

frozen

times i wonder

are we just a puff of smoke? yeah

underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything

like we were never close

don't you worry baby

no sense tryin' to change it

i'ma strike these matches

never had control

i'm ready to let go no

was i foolin' myself

i'ma spread these ashes

never had control

i'm ready

i'm ready

i'm ready to let go

sun went down

sun went down

over pompeii

on holy ground our vows were broken

we met up we broke bread

i was blue

your dress was red

ain't it strange?

we both knew this day was comin'

as we slow danced

i became your statue

frozen

times i wonder

are we just a puff of smoke? yeah

underneath this bed of ashes still withholding everything

like we were never close

don't you worry baby

no sense tryin' to change it

i'ma strike these matches

never had control

i'm ready to let go no

was i foolin' myself

i'ma spread these ashes

never had control

i'm ready

i'm ready

i'm ready to let go

don't you worry baby

no sense tryin' to change it

i'ma strike these matches

never had control

i'm ready to let go no

was i foolin' myself

i'ma spread these ashes

never had control

i'm ready

i'm ready

i'm ready to let go
