Lyrics

Jettison

[Verse 1]

I didn't let go 'cause you hurt me

I didn't let go so you'd stay

I did let you go 'cause I love you so much

And it kills me to see us this way

[Verse 2]

Love saved my life when you found me

A debt I can only repay

By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours

And I know that you'd want it this way

[Chorus]

Sandman, take me much further than sleep

We'll ride down that river of tears

Where only the stars and the angels will weep

As I jettison all of my years

[Verse 3]

Long are the nights I lay cryin'

Wasn't because you weren't true

I hope you can finally be happy, my love

'Cause I'd give up my own life for you

[Chorus]

Sandman, take me much further than sleep

We'll ride down that river of tears

Where only the stars and the angels will weep

As I jettison all of my years

[Refrain]

Oh, I jettison all of my years

Oh, I jettison all of my years
