Goodbye |
| These cities blur before me, a swirl of colors leaned against the sky |
| Gone so far away and I never really told you good bye |
| I know it’s kind of lame but sometimes things just turn out that way |
| We were the best of friends and I’ll always remember you that way |
| We started out with nothing, but wild plans and big ideas and dreams |
| You were quick to swing the hammer and always fast with some ingenious scheme |
| Sometimes we argued violently but forged it out of bedrock into steel |
| Our foundations were so solid and our instincts based on something very real |
| I feel so damned nostalgic every time I think about those times |
| I forget how it became that I wouldn’t recognize you on the line |
| I start to feel so guilty but goddamn it I swear to you I tried |
| To bridge between the distances before I left without saying good-bye |
| I have friends I met last weekend and friends I’ve had since I was eight |
| Friends I’ve said goodbye to and friends who unexpectedly passed away |
| And nothing is disposable; |
| at least it’s never been that way for me |
| Its not like you were an acquaintance that I could say never really meant |
| anything to me |
| No we were really great friends and I always thought that it would be that way |
| Yet I wonder if I’d know you if the guy that I saw last walked in here today |
| And I swear until I die, I never would have expected you and I |
| To grow so far apart and leave without ever saying good bye |
