LYRICS

"LET YOUR HAIR DOWN"

[Intro:]

[Verse 1]

I see the mental checklist spinning in your head,

Replaying every single word that boss or partner said.

You carry the tomorrow like it’s yours alone to build,

Leaving every quiet corner of your spirit unfulfilled.

But the desk will still be sitting there when Monday comes around,

And the world won't fall to pieces if you step off of the ground.

Close the laptop, lock the door, and draw a line today,

It takes a powerful woman just to turn and walk away.

[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic shift, a warm and teasing vocal delivery]

It is hard to drop the heavy weights you think you have to bear,

But the sky is wide and open... so why don't you meet me there?

[Chorus]

Go on and let your hair down, put the worry on the shelf,

Give a little time and space to nobody but yourself.

It’s a gentle kind of boundary, a weekend just for play,

Let the thoughts go drifting out into the bay.

You have permission to forget the rules you made,

Step into the sunlight, step out of the shade.

[Instrumental Break

[Verse 2]

It feels a little risky just to sit and do no thing,

To quiet down the telephone and let the doorbell ring.

But the mind is like a garden that requires a winter rest,

And your wisdom also tells you that a pause is for the best

Go put on the favorite dress you keep for "someday soon,"

And dance across the kitchen in the middle of the room.

It’s okay to just enjoy the moment , no need to fix or mend

To laugh at something silly with an old, familiar friend.

[Bridge]

Switch it off.

Let it go.

Find the magic...

In the slow.

[Chorus]

Go on and let your hair down, put the worry on the shelf,

Give a little time and space to nobody but yourself.

It’s a gentle kind of boundary, a weekend just for play,

Let the thoughts go drifting out into the bay.

You have permission to forget the rules you made,

Step into the sunlight, step out of the shade.

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Final Chorus]

Go on and let your hair down, put the worry on the shelf,

Give a little time and space to nobody but yourself.

It’s a gentle kind of boundary, a weekend just for play,

Let the thoughts go drifting out into the bay.

You have permission to forget the rules you made,

Step into the sunlight, step out of the shade.

[End]
