This is a song about how relationships, though wonderful, can be suffocating and can even deteriorate our sense of selves; and about how sometimes, despite our better natures, we just have to let those we love be themselves, and in turn go their own way.
Lyrics
She’s got eyes like the deep blue sea
Shiny locks like wheat
That dance about in the breeze
But you can’t breathe
Let air into your life
She’s into the great unknown
Reshaping the rocks and stones
The winds of change have blown
The water’s gone
Let air into your life
She’ll open the windows
But lock all the doors
So you can only see outside
And once you’re in
She’ll lose sight of why
She let you in to her life
To the elements exposed
The palace you built erodes
From the rain like the tears you choke
Just let her go
Let Erin to her life
Let Erin to her life
