Idlewild – A Modern Way Of Letting Go lyrics

if i know what i know
that noone will watch over you
and someone shouldn't really tell me
what i want to know
i know oh oh
i know that matters dont matter as much
as you think they do

cos you will only be yourself
and you can never be yourself
and you will only be yourself
when you understand what you know

how long will we go on
with the modern way of letting go
tell me how long will we go on
with the modern way of letting you go

if i know what i know
losing isn't learnin to be lost
its learnin to know when you're lost
and i know what i know
i wanna make the most of what it seems like

you will only be yourself
and you can never be yourself
and you will only be yourself
when you understand what you know

how long will we go on
with the modern way of letting you go
tell me how long will we go on
with the modern way of letting you go
