I know it will seem like a comfort at first
You know...here's the guitar...nearly in tune
All the right things are on the floor in straight lines
In strict time...give or take
And the stupid chords and familiar thoughts
You know where this is heading....precisely
I wish it were different but it's hard to let go
When I know where things are
I can find stuff real quick
And get back to the important bit
Which is namely it helps me...it helps me think straight
I am not distracted and I don't have to think too hard
No..no...no...I am not boxed in by 24 hours of box set television
My mind set is an episode halved to fit
It don't intrude too much
It's hard to let go
Even when you know it's murder
It's hard to go back
It's harder when you don't start sooner

Gather round the home fires
Except they are not home fires...they are not home fires
They are improvised devices all along the runway
To long for the lifting of restrictions
It's true the straitjacket don't fit you
So take it off and put on a robe
Put down a blanket
Put on some sun cream
And some Sun Ra records
And tell me how difficult it is now
It's hard to let go
The things that you know
Or the things that you need
Or the things that you see
It's hard to let go
It's hard to know how
It's hard to let go after a while
Yeah, it's hard to let go
