Let Go - Ollie

Happy days, happy days

Sun shining through my window

I can’t change what I can’t change

I’ve been learning how to let go

Yeah, but some things are easier said than done

Yeah, but some things are easier said than done

My most difficult days can be the greatest prize

You know the saying—a blessing in disguise

Learning a million life lessons that both my parents tried

I kinda wish I listened more and opened up my eyes

But, listen… fuck it

Haha, I’m messing up now

Here we go, yo

Yeah, but when you’re young—you know, we never listen

We take for granted the little things and the life we’re given

Family, Christmases, and birthdays now the things I’m missing

And believe me when I’d say I’d go back in an instant

Crazy thinking I started in my grandma’s basement

Laptop and my mic was full of inspiration

I couldn’t stop writing these lyrics, felt what I was facing

Who woulda thought kids 'round the world would message me relating?

Damn, I’m truly blessed, I know

Can’t ever rest, I won’t

Just do my best, I go, yeah

Happy days, happy days

Sun shining through my window

I can’t change what I can’t change

I’ve been learning how to let go

Yeah, but some things are easier said than done

Yeah, but some things are easier said than done

I just played at a show last night for 500 people

And I can remember, like, two years ago, making music in my grandma’s basement

Tryna hide that shit from everyone 'cause I didn’t want anyone to hear the shit

I was making

And then, last night I had people sing—haha, I had people sing fuckin' words

along with me

I, I just… I don’t even know what—I, I don’t even know what to say

I don’t even—yeah, I don’t even know what to say…

Honestly, I don’t…

To like, finally, make a full project of work

A full body of work—I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying, dude, like—I, I,

I’m just tryna make something that’s complete, that represents who I am and

represents all the shit that I’ve been through, all the shit that we’ve been

through…

It’s just, I don’t know, man

It just feels like it’s—it's an emotional experience, kind of…

'Cause like, oh my god… haha—I remember…

Haha, I remember taking all the money I made—all the money I got from my,

my school loan—I got a loan in the bank—and my mum had to like, co-sign it,

to go to college, but instead of going to class I used all my mu—haha,

all my money, to go drive to Toronto and record songs and I wouldn’t tell her.

I guess she’s gonna find out now though, haha—after I make this… haha, oh man.

Jeez.

Crazy, I just can’t believe it, I really can’t…

I thought no one would ever listen to my music, I thought, I thought there’s

some of this shit I’m doing now was, it’s just, wasn’t even ever gonna be

possible for me, it just seemed so… crazy

Yeah, it just seemed like it was impossible, I don’t know how to say it in a

better way, but…

It just seemed impossible.

And now to look at the shit we’ve done,

it’s just like… damn, I don’t even—I don’t even know…

I started to kinda think, like—this sounds cheesy, I know it sounds fucking

cheesy, but—I started to always think, like, maybe this was supposed to happen,

because… everything that I’ve been through has somehow led to, like,

this point, you know…

The people I’ve met, the experiences, the—the shit I’ve been through,

it just seems to all lead down one road…

And no matter what I do to like, to try to change that, if I—I don’t even know

if I wanna, I don’t even know if I wanna change that, but no matter what I do

it just seems to always just guide me down this path

And I’m not sure what the hell that is, if that’s God or some shit,

I don’t know what it is

But it just makes me think, like—like, maybe everything I’m doing,

maybe every person I meet, every experience that happens is like-maybe this

was supposed to happen, maybe there’s like, maybe there’s a meaning behind this

Maybe there’s like—I don’t even know what the fuck I’m saying, but, like

If you understand, you understand—maybe not, but…

Yeah, haha

That’s all I got

More than music, I fucking love y’all

I hope you enjoy this shit

And I, haha, I don’t even know what to say

I love y’all so much… appreciate you
