Lyrics Let Go - Ollie

Let Go

Happy days, happy days
Sun shining through my window
I can’t change what I can’t change
I’ve been learning how to let go
Yeah, but some things are easier said than done
Yeah, but some things are easier said than done
My most difficult days can be the greatest prize
You know the saying—a blessing in disguise
Learning a million life lessons that both my parents tried
I kinda wish I listened more and opened up my eyes
But, listen… fuck it
Haha, I’m messing up now
Here we go, yo
Yeah, but when you’re young—you know, we never listen
We take for granted the little things and the life we’re given
Family, Christmases, and birthdays now the things I’m missing
And believe me when I’d say I’d go back in an instant
Crazy thinking I started in my grandma’s basement
Laptop and my mic was full of inspiration
I couldn’t stop writing these lyrics, felt what I was facing
Who woulda thought kids 'round the world would message me relating?
Damn, I’m truly blessed, I know
Can’t ever rest, I won’t
Just do my best, I go, yeah
Happy days, happy days
Sun shining through my window
I can’t change what I can’t change
I’ve been learning how to let go
Yeah, but some things are easier said than done
Yeah, but some things are easier said than done
I just played at a show last night for 500 people
And I can remember, like, two years ago, making music in my grandma’s basement
Tryna hide that shit from everyone 'cause I didn’t want anyone to hear the shit
I was making
And then, last night I had people sing—haha, I had people sing fuckin' words
along with me
I, I just… I don’t even know what—I, I don’t even know what to say
I don’t even—yeah, I don’t even know what to say…
Honestly, I don’t…
To like, finally, make a full project of work
A full body of work—I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying, dude, like—I, I,
I’m just tryna make something that’s complete, that represents who I am and
represents all the shit that I’ve been through, all the shit that we’ve been
through…
It’s just, I don’t know, man
It just feels like it’s—it's an emotional experience, kind of…
'Cause like, oh my god… haha—I remember…
Haha, I remember taking all the money I made—all the money I got from my,
my school loan—I got a loan in the bank—and my mum had to like, co-sign it,
to go to college, but instead of going to class I used all my mu—haha,
all my money, to go drive to Toronto and record songs and I wouldn’t tell her.
I guess she’s gonna find out now though, haha—after I make this… haha, oh man.
Jeez.
Crazy, I just can’t believe it, I really can’t…
I thought no one would ever listen to my music, I thought, I thought there’s
some of this shit I’m doing now was, it’s just, wasn’t even ever gonna be
possible for me, it just seemed so… crazy
Yeah, it just seemed like it was impossible, I don’t know how to say it in a
better way, but…
It just seemed impossible.
And now to look at the shit we’ve done,
it’s just like… damn, I don’t even—I don’t even know…
I started to kinda think, like—this sounds cheesy, I know it sounds fucking
cheesy, but—I started to always think, like, maybe this was supposed to happen,
because… everything that I’ve been through has somehow led to, like,
this point, you know…
The people I’ve met, the experiences, the—the shit I’ve been through,
it just seems to all lead down one road…
And no matter what I do to like, to try to change that, if I—I don’t even know
if I wanna, I don’t even know if I wanna change that, but no matter what I do
it just seems to always just guide me down this path
And I’m not sure what the hell that is, if that’s God or some shit,
I don’t know what it is
But it just makes me think, like—like, maybe everything I’m doing,
maybe every person I meet, every experience that happens is like-maybe this
was supposed to happen, maybe there’s like, maybe there’s a meaning behind this
Maybe there’s like—I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying, but, like
If you understand, you understand—maybe not, but…
Yeah, haha
That’s all I got
More than music, I fucking love y’all
I hope you enjoy this shit
And I, haha, I don’t even know what to say
I love y’all so much… appreciate you
