|
These cities blur before me |
|
A swirl of colors leaned against the sky |
|
Gone so far away |
|
And I never really told you goodbye |
|
I know it's kind of lame |
|
Sometimes things just turn out that way |
|
We were the best of friends |
|
And I'll always thought that it would be that way |
|
We started out with nothing |
|
Wild plans and big ideas, and dreams |
|
You were quick to swing the hammer |
|
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 |
|
And 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 |
|
And I start to feel so guilty |
|
But goddamn it, |
|
I swear to you |
|
I triedTo bridge between the distances |
|
Before I left without saying goodbye |
|
I have friends |
|
I met last weekend |
|
And friends that |
|
I have known 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 to me |
|
It's not like you were an acquaintance |
|
That I could say never meant anything to me |
|
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 dieI never would have expected you and |
|
ITo grow so far apart |
|
And leave without ever saying goodbye |
|
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye |
