So long
It’s a shame that you’re moving to New York
I’ll stay right here ‘cause I’m gonna miss the open sky
But after the summer I’m leaving here too
Can I stay at your place?
Has it been a six-year plan?
Or have I been just wasting my time
Singing how I’m dead and gone?
Yeah I know that’s true but still cynical
But you don’t know a thing about me
So I’ll write it down here
Waiting for the last time
I’m not taking my time anymore
Before long you won’t see me around here
This is for the first time
It’s straight up
I seek forgiveness among the streetlights
So long
It’s a good day to write you a letter
Because I contemplated my life yesterday in my bed
And I’ve noticed that this is how I get by
I regret it all
Have the six years been just wasted?
Or have you found my stories in my
Songs or my voice?
I’m from nowhere
So I’ll burn the bridges down
Now it’s all the same
This is where it all ends
I’m sailing on a sunken dream
Waiting for the last time
I’m not taking my time anymore
Before long you won’t see me around here
This is for the first time
It’s straight up
I seek forgiveness among the streetlights
New England rain with flakes of snow shed like tears
Longing for California dream out west
This is how I’m supposed to be
I need flexibility
I need no sympathy
Back to the first place that I once sang about
Waiting for the last time
I’m not taking my time anymore
Before long you won’t see me around here
This is for the first time
It’s straight up
I seek forgiveness among the streetlights
I’m still waiting
I’m still waiting
I’m still waiting for the last time
I’m still waiting
I’m still waiting
I’m still waiting for the last time
