We were three kids in the backyard

With a spaceship and a toy car

It was perfect till we had to come inside

Now we're three men in the same spot

With a shovel and a shoebox

It's the first time that we've had to say goodbye

Well I know no one wants to dig the hole

But there's nothing quite like letting go

It was summer I was in Maine

Must've lost her in that time frame

If I'm honest it was hard to be away

Wrote a love song on my guitar

And she dumped me through a postcard

It's the first time that I knew my heart could break

Well I've won and I've lost and it blows

It's the first and the only love I think I've ever known

If it's true that what hurts you helps you grow

Then there's nothing quite like letting go

No there's nothing quite like letting go

Yeah

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Mmm oh there's nothing quite like

Saw my mother and she asked me

How's your brother?

Is he happy?

He'll be alright he just needs some room to breathe

Now we're both here living on the West Coast

Kind of back where we started just doing it alone

It's not easier it's just a little bit different

Still I know that you'd never let it show

But I bet that it's scary watching all your kids leave home

Sometimes plants need a bigger pot to grow

It's not wrong it's not right making room in your life

Oh there's nothing quite like letting go

But there's one thing that I'd undo

When I said I didn't love you

It was stupid I was just too scared to see

But you showed me what it means to be home

In a world we'll never have to be alone

It's so obvious you're one of a kind

I'm still learning to give up some control

I wonder where we'll get married and the shade will paint our home

It's not hard to imagine growing old

With you here in my life it's a beautiful ride

Oh there's nothing quite like letting go
