Verse 1

Sweetie Little Jean, where did you go?

Everyone's been searching high and low

And your mother's worried sick

Dearest daddy's lost his grip

While the whole world's watching

Candlelight vigils being held in silence

On the channel four

And they've knocked on every door

Every place you've been before

Refrain

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

Chorus

I, I want you back

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all my troubles will be dead and gone

Refrain

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go

Verse 2

Has melancholy taken you for good?

You know that I would save you if I could

Watched your laughter turn to tears

Then you vanished in thin air

Well we pinned your missing persons picture up

On every mother-loving post

How's it feel to be a ghost?

You're the one I love the most

Chorus 2

I, I want you back

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your breast

Where all our troubles will be laid to rest

Verse 3

I pushed and I pulled 'til I pushed you aside

Now all that is left are the tears that you cried

I'm sorry love for all of the damage done

My only hope is someday to be back beside you

Chorus

I, I want you back

Let's get back

Lay my weary head against your bones

Where all our troubles will be dead and gone

Refrain

How long will we let it go?

I think we should just let go
