Lyrics

I don't know how but I let it happen

I allowed something to happen, not sure how.

I felt my heart fall out

I experienced a profound emotional impact; my heart metaphorically fell out.

I layed down on a late night laughing

I relaxed on a late night, enjoying laughter.

When that feeling is forgotten

When that positive feeling is forgotten.

It's good as dead when its gone

It becomes lifeless when it's no longer present.

It's good as hell when you're hanging on

It feels great when you're persevering despite challenges.


We don't have to be happy all the time

We don't need to be happy all the time.

We don't have to hide from hard times

We shouldn't avoid difficult times.

We don't have to hide from hard times

Reiteration of not avoiding challenges.


I don't know how but two and two

Uncertain about the dynamics of a relationship.

Me and you we add up

The combination of "me and you" makes sense.

I felt my fear fall out

Fear dissipates.

I heard heaven is only as heavy as us

Suggesting that heaven is influenced by human actions.

If you could let me know

Request for communication if love fades.

When leaves of love have fallen

Metaphor about the end of a loving relationship.

Cause I've been hanging on

Persisting despite difficulties.


We don't have to be happy all the time

Emphasizing that perpetual happiness is unnecessary.

We don't have to hide from hard times

Encouraging acceptance of challenging times.

We don't have to hide from hard times

Reiteration of accepting hardships.


It's okay to get down

It's acceptable to feel down.

But you don't have to stay there

However, there's no need to remain in a low state.

We all lose our way around

We all experience confusion or difficulty finding our way.

It's alright to let it happen

Accepting the natural flow of events.


We don't have to be happy all the time

Reiteration of not needing constant happiness.

We don't have to hide from hard times

Emphasizing the acceptance of challenging times.

We don't have to hide from hard times

Reiteration of embracing difficulties in life.
