(Setting: a cluttered house loaded with items strewn about.)
Please have a seat. Yeah there's a chair here somewhere under all these papers -
Yeah no just fine - ignore the mouse poop. Can I Get you something to drink?
I don't know if any of those glasses are clean.
Maybe in this box...
Verse:
Newspapers stacking up to the ceiling
Clothes all cover the floor
No room to stand up, so I’m kneeling
And yet I still want more
Chorus:
I can’t let go (of my things)
I can’t let go (they make my life tough)
I can’t let go (though it’s too much)
I can’t let go (it’s not enough)
Some people accuse me of hoarding
But that’s not how it be
You see junk, I see a second chance
A recycling opportunity
Chorus:
I can’t let go (though I want to)
I can’t let go (though it’s what I need)
I can’t let go (even though it’s a trap)
I can’t let go (I want to be free)
Won’t you give me a hand
This was never the plan for my life
I know you understand
So please do what you can
Because you know I count on you
Yes, it’s true
It all comes down to
Chorus:
I can’t let go (you’re the only one)
I can’t let go (who stuck by my side)
I can’t let go (You never gave me up)
I can’t let go (You always tried)
I may put on a show
But I’m no Marie Kondo as you can see
Help me open the door
Help me sweep up the floor
Clean me out so I can be free
Just you and me
Help us to be
Chorus:
I can’t let go (of all my albums)
I can’t let go (of all my books)
I can’t let go (can you see through the wasteland?)
I can’t let go (take a second look)
