[Verse 1]
I like a long drive
Windows cracked
Whole past in the rearview
Talking to the night sky
Till the hurt sounds smaller than the engine
Mile after mile
Every white line pulling out a memory
I let the tears dry
On my cheeks like salt from the sea
[Chorus]
So I let it out on the long road
Let it go with the wind on my face
Every turn
Every cutoff
Takes a little bit of weight from this place
When the world gets too loud
Too loud
I just need to get out
Get out
Till it’s only me and the sky somehow
I let the pain out
I let the pain out now
[Verse 2]
I ride the chair up
Heart heavy
Head full of static
Then it’s just cold air
Breath hanging like a ghost over granite
Board on fresh ground
Carving quiet through the frozen powder
Every sharp turn
Scraping all the worry till it’s softer
[Chorus]
So I let it out on the white hills
Let it go in the cut of the snow
Every slide
Every slip
Writes “it’s gonna be alright” as I go
When the world gets too loud
Too loud
I just need to get out
Get out
Till it’s only me and the sky somehow
I let the stress out
I let the stress out now
[Bridge]
Then summertime finds me
Boots tied tight on a dusty trail
Pine in my breathing
Heart finally lighter
Slow and pale
Rocks under my footsteps
River talking low somewhere below
Mountains like old friends
Saying “kid
You’re not alone”
[Chorus]
So I let it out in the bright green
Let it go where the wild things grow
Every step
Every sunrise
Turns the sharpest worries dull and slow
When the world gets too loud
Too loud
I just need to get out
Get out
Till it’s only me and the sky somehow
I let the pain out
I let the pain out now
