I know it's late in the morning
but I can't understand you well
won't you just sleep a little longer
I'm not going nowhere

if this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
if this is the way that its gotta be
let it be

now she's hanging up notes on something
because I'm missing like a kid milk carton
grabbing fistfuls of hair with follicles
not calling me any longer

if this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
if this is the way that its gotta be
let it be

now they're hanging up notes on something
because we're missing like a kid milk carton
grabbing fistfuls of hair with follicles
not calling in any longer

this is the way that its gotta be
then this is the way that its gonna be
and this is the way that its gotta be
let it be

thought that I lost
everything went to pot
time wasted loosely tying knots
a lot of pain with a little head ache
breaking heart and dying off
as I'm slowly salted with V8
in a paisley shower curtain
I'm wrapped up in
not unlike a new born baby
