One More Time

I don't think I could really say
Leaving has felt different from staying
I head to bed most nights alone
And with the light, there's still no one
I'm on an island with no one else around

Waves will roll in and melt back out
I anchored you, but in the drought
Am I to you, some sort of chain?
Are you a bird? Am I your cage?
Am I a bar breaking under notes you play?

One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna set you free
One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna let you be
I'm gonna let you be

I'm just the shore, you're just the waves
You will roll in every few days
I'll try to draw lines in the land
But you will wash away the sand
If you move me out, I can't move back again

One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna set you free
One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna let you be
I'm gonna let you be

Oh, turning little circles in the tiny shoebox
Oh, windows for display
Oh, putting on a show, the last of the lonely
Oh, because I'm always saying

One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna set you free
One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna let you be
One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna set you free
One more time, honey
One more time
I'm gonna let you be
I'm gonna let you be
