Set You Free
The hours are passing
The sand in the glass
Is falling down like rain
The seasons are changing
The chords on the page
Are spelling out your name
But we wrote the book
Before we read it
We dove head first
Into a crowded heaven
And seats are all sold out
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
The theater is empty
The ushers are sweeping
All that's left behind
The backstage is buzzin
The house lights are humming
And the floors are drenched in wine
But you grabbed my arm
To steal me away
From the friends that I love
And the scene that I made it
The plane is taking off
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
We're lyin down for the last time
'Cause I gotta leave before the end of the night
Ooooooooo
This isn't a break up
It's only a wake up
Tomorrow we'll move on
We won't be together
But we'll always remember
The meaning of this song
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
I hope that you can see
That I've gotta set you free
The sand in the glass
Is falling down like rain
The seasons are changing
The chords on the page
Are spelling out your name
But we wrote the book
Before we read it
We dove head first
Into a crowded heaven
And seats are all sold out
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
The theater is empty
The ushers are sweeping
All that's left behind
The backstage is buzzin
The house lights are humming
And the floors are drenched in wine
But you grabbed my arm
To steal me away
From the friends that I love
And the scene that I made it
The plane is taking off
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
We're lyin down for the last time
'Cause I gotta leave before the end of the night
Ooooooooo
This isn't a break up
It's only a wake up
Tomorrow we'll move on
We won't be together
But we'll always remember
The meaning of this song
I don't wanna drag your heart around
I don't wanna burn this candle down
And though it's killing me
I've gotta set you free
I hope that you can see
That I've gotta set you free
