She got the antidote she knows the other way
She really understands I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide

I got no broken wing
I got the moonshine
I let my enemies slide for the meantime
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me

The worries on your face
The stars came out to play
I try to tell myself
I won't mess up again
I try to fix it good
I try to patch it up
I got a manual that tells us how we have to love
Forgot your neighbor forgot your love
Forgot the strength cause you can never get enough
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
You and me

Come inside, come over here
I remember you through all the years
Don't try to run us down
When the world is at your feet
Don't let the baby bite
(Bite bite)

She got the antidote
She knows the other way
She really under understands
I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me

Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
With you and me
Into the afterlife
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

Drummers such as Sacha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all filled in as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush lineup. more »
