Show Me the Ropes

Can somebody show me the ropes? I don't believe but you swear you know My idle hands have twisted these knots Now I'm seething at the bus stop Can I just let this go? Haven't I proven I'm no gymnast? Pull my back reaching for forgiveness For all the time lost trying to prove how I've really got it figured out now Oh can I just let this go? Let this go I open one eye, look to my side Could've sworn I was a good guy But good intentions make too-late lessons Cut some slack, release my tension Oh can I just let this go? Let this go Know it was hard fought And know the real costs Oh this love you had and lost Don't you feel lighter? There was no fire For all this heavenly desire Oh can I just let this go? Let this go Don't you feel lighter? Free to be humbled by the world Free to be small and free to learn You can let this go
