Well, I was hanging with some buddies on a Saturday night When some guy starts talkin' tough and tries picking a fight I might have punched him in the nose if it was back in the day But I just shook his hand and bought his beer, it's better that way It's better that way It's better that way It's better that way It's better that way Some guy gave me the finger on the freeway today I think I might have cut him off, or somehow got in his way I would've run him off the road if it was back in the day But I just smiled and waved and let it go, it's better that way It's better that way It's better that way It's better that way It's better that way So if you're in a situation and your feeling some frustration Let it go (Let it go!) Let it go (Let it go!) 'Cause you can't change what happens but you can change your reaction Don't you know "tranquilo?" Well I just realized this song is not very long And if I really wanted I could go on and on But I think that I've said everything I wanted to say So I'll just keep it short and sweet, I think it's better that way It's better that way It's better that way It's better that way
