Lyrics So Long - Steady Holiday

So Long

You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the hurt
Beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies
And chord progressions much like these
To love and be loved, who’d have thought it’d be so mysterious?
It would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses
To pull the plug and hope that no one sinks
You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the fade
Beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity
Preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse
What’s the harm in a little disillusion?
A little rosy hue and a drink to see it through
To separate my logic from my ways
I can and I will, and I can and I will move on
And you can and you will, and you can and you will move on
You deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability
So I’ll retire, I’ll keep it brief
Admiring you lovingly
So long, so long, so long
