It's always around me, all this noise, but Not really as loud as the voice saying "Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good) Just let it happen, let it happen" All this running around Trying to cover my shadow An ocean growing inside All the others seem shallow All this running around Bearing down on my shoulders I can hear an alarm Must be morning I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound, and When it happens, when it happens (I'm gonna be holding on) So let it happen, let it happen All this running around I can't fight it much longer Something's trying to get out And it's never been closer If my ticker fails Make up some other story But if I never come back Tell my mother I'm sorry Will not vanish, you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to push through it You were not thinking that I will not do it They be lovin' someone and I'm another story Take the next ticket, get the next train Why would I do it? Anyone'd think that I will not vanish, you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to push through it You were not thinking that I will not do it They be lovin' someone and I'm another story Take the next ticket, get the next train Why would I do it? Anyone'd think that Will not vanish, you will not scare me Try to get through it, try to push through it You were not thinking that I will not do it They be lovin' someone and I'm another story Take the next ticket, get the next train Why would I do it? Anyone'd think that Maybe I was ready all along Oh baby, I was ready all along Maybe all I wanted was the sound of a memory I was ready all along Maybe I was ready all along Oh baby, I was ready all along Maybe all I wanted was the sound of a memory
