Backstory

Some things you have to let burn to move on. Aaron May's Let Go energy — that late-night drive where you finally stop holding on.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late-night drive, windows down, letting go of ghosts
The rearview holds the people that I needed most
But some love turns to lumber, dry and old
And the kindest thing to do is let it fold
I held on 'til my palms were raw and red
Finally opened up my hands and chose myself instead

[Chorus]
Let it burn, let it burn
Some fires teach you what you couldn't learn
Let it burn, let it burn
Ashes make the softest ground to return

[Verse 2]
Smoke signals in the mirror getting small
Every mile away feels like a weight I let fall
I'm not angry, I'm not bitter, I'm just done
Closure isn't revenge, it's facing the sun
Soul in the speakers, peace in my chest
The highway doesn't judge, it just gives you the rest

[Bridge]
I loved it enough to let it go
I lost it enough to finally know
Some things don't heal
They just release

[Outro]
Let it burn...
And drive toward the morning
