Long Way To Go
Navigating Love's Maze: Powderfinger's Reflection on Letting Go
Lyrics
Don't look back just decide and move on
Decide and move forward without looking back.
Cause you're wasting my time girl we just don't get on
The relationship is not working, and it's a waste of time.
Don't wait here for the climate to change
Don't wait for circumstances to change.
Picking over the bones of the love that remains
Examining the remnants of a love that has faded.
I feel I've got such a long way to go
Feeling like there's a significant journey ahead.
We got lost on the winding road
Experiencing confusion or uncertainty on the path.
I feel its just such a long way through
Expressing the perceived lengthiness of the journey.
So if you let go of me then I'll let go of you
If you release me, I'll release you in return.
Don't resist just relax and let go
Suggesting to let go and not resist the inevitable.
You can tend to the seed but you can't make it grow
You can care for something, but its growth is not guaranteed.
Don't invent a new way to hold on
Discouraging the creation of new ways to hold on to the relationship.
'Cause your testing my patience you just don't belong
Implying that the other person's actions are testing patience and are not fitting.
This time I'm gone
Expressing a departure or separation.
This time I'm gone
Reiterating a sense of finality in the departure.
I feel I've got such a long way to go
Reiterating the feeling of a long journey ahead.
We just got lost on the winding road
Reflecting on getting lost on the challenging path.
I feel its just such a long way through
Emphasizing the perceived lengthiness of the journey.
So if you let go of me then I'll let go of you...
If you release me, I'll release you in return (repeated from line 9).
