Modern Family
Backstory: Anyone out there know anything about joint custody? This song came to me when I was lying in bed feeling sick the night before my boys were leaving for their dad’s house. Realizing for the first time that the emotions and body feelings I experience when my boys are getting ready to leave for their dad’s for two weeks, is a complicated mash-up... not right or wrong, just real. And cyclic... every two weeks....
Verse 1:
Don’t get me wrong… I know you’re well adjusted,
changes in your life make you adaptable
Don’t get me wrong… I know you’re torn between
the ghosts who made you and the clay you’re shaping now.
Pre:
When you go I’m left holding feelings
aching, pining, void…
Sinking deep, knowing that you’re going
and I won’t see you for so long
Chorus:
We had to let it go
Out of our control
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained
Modern Family
Verse 2:
A marriage done… yeah I made the right decision
and I wouldn’t want to be there like that again
Swallowed hard… The pill not as bitter
and the poison washed away by time and endless tears
Pre:
When you go I’m left holding feelings
aching, pining, void…
Sinking deep, knowing that you’re going
and I won’t see your love for so long
Chorus:
We had to let it go
Out of our control
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained

Instrumental Verse,Pre
Verse 3:
Don’t get me wrong… I can see into the future
and it’s clearly bright shining to pull you through
Time moves all… You know it’s kinda cosmic
How we get a second chance to share this life of ours
Pre:
And yet this longing aching feeling
Sinking in my body when it’s getting close
The night before you go I’m so restless
Tie the loose ends and let you go
Chorus:
We had to let it go
Out of our control
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained
Modern Family
We had to let it go
Out of our control
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained
