Cage the Elephant Sweetie Little Jean song lyrics

sweetie little Jean where did you go?

everyone's been searching high and low

and your mother's worried sick

dearest daddy 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

how long will we let it go?

i think we should just let go

i, i want you babe

let's get back

lay my weary head against your bones

where all my troubles will be dead and gone

how long will we let it go?

i think we should just let go

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-lovin' post

how's it feel to be a ghost?

you're the one I love the most

i, i want you babe

let's get back

lay my weary head against your breast

where all my troubles will be laid to rest

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

i only hope

that someday to be back beside you

i, i want you babe

let's get back

lay my weary head against your bones

where all our troubles will be dead and gone

how long will we let it go?

i think we should just let go
