[Spoken word]
To the man in his bedroom who still thinks he's a kid
I pray you never grow up for as long as you live
I pray that you think about those things that you miss
The things that you went through to get to the things that you did

I pray that you feel all your pain and you don't bottle it up
And realise that being yourself is enough
'Cause if you're running from your past and the things that you hide
Then, you'll be running for the rest of your life

Oh, I let you go
Yeah, I let you go
'Cause if you're running from your past and the things that you hide
Then, you'll be running for the rest of your life

To the man in his bedroom who still thinks he's a kid
I hope you held on tightly to the brim of your lid
And no matter how many times you lost it
I hope that you learnt that it's all part of the process to get the things you deserve
And there's no such thing as having a bad day
It can be great when things aren't going your way
'Cause if you're running from your past and the things that you hide
Then, you'll be running for the rest of your life

Oh, I let you go
Yeah, I let you go
'Cause if you're running from your past and the things that you hide
Then, you'll be running for the rest of your life
[Bridge]
I hope you make it through the weather
'Cause summer's up and gone forever
You know them days when you felt better
Well they don't last forever
Been having the same dreams all your life
Boy you couldn't stop them if you tried
Once you realise that letting go is everything you wanted out of life

I let you go
I let you go
'Cause if you're running from your past and the things that you hide
Then, you'll be running for the rest of your life

To the man in his bedroom, are you proud of who you've become
I guess I'm talking about still taking the shopping in for ya mum
But you somehow manage to trip and spill the beans all over the front porch
It's all up the walls man and all up the sides
Don't cry, daddies not here to tell you off
You're a big boy now, lift your chin up, be proud of who you are
May the future be here, and the past be the past
And if you're looking to bloom, then keep on watering the grass

Our man in his bedroom, don't you dare give up now
You've seen first hand what happens when you set off for a face in the crowd
But still, take your time, stop for a coffee along the way
And brush your gnashers at least two times a day
Our man in his bedroom, wow, big legend
Draw the curtains, open the windows, take a deep breath, and accept where it all went wrong
To the man in his bedroom, it was you all along

[Singing]
I hope you make it through the weather
'Cause summer's up and gone forever
You know them days when you felt better
Well they don't last forever
