• " Let Her Go"
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go-oh-oh-ooh
And Katy Perry?!
• Do you know that there's still a
• Firework chance for you
• Do you ever feel like a plastic bag 'Cause there's a spark in you
Drifting thought the wind • You just gotta ignite the light
Wanting to start again And let it shine
• Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin Just own the night
Like a house of cards Like the Fourth of July
One blow from caving in • 'Cause baby you're a firework
• Do you ever feel already buried deep Come on show 'em what your
Six feet under scream worth
But no one seems to hear a thing Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
• You don't have to feel like a waste of • 'Cause baby you're a firework
space Come on show 'em what your worth
You're original, cannot be replaced Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
If you only knew what the future holds As you shoot across the sky-y-y
After a hurricane comes a rainbow • Baby you're a firework
• Maybe a reason why all the doors are Come on let your colors burst
closed Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
So you can open one that leads you to the You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down
perfect road down down
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow • Boom, boom, boom
And when it's time, you'll know Even brighter than the moon, moon,
• You just gotta ignite the light moon
And let it shine It's always been inside of you, you,
Just own the night you
Like the Fourth of July And now it's time to let it through
But sometimes….
Fog
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then, moves on.
