Godspeed
Wishing Godspeed: Navigating Love's Departure with Jenna Torres
Lyrics
Baby every train has to pull out of the station
Expressing the inevitability of moving forward, acknowledging the transient nature of relationships.
I hate to admit I was just one stop on the way
Admitting being just a temporary stop in the journey of the other person's life.
I would have loved to be your final destination
Expressing a desire to be the final, lasting love, but recognizing that it may not happen.
Some things they just don't work out that way
Acknowledging that some things, including relationships, don't always go as planned.
I know it can't be me
Recognizing personal limitations and understanding that one cannot fulfill the other's needs.
I know I can't be the one to give you what you need
Acknowledging an inability to provide what the other person requires emotionally.
I ain't lyin' I know I'll be cryin' when you leave
Expressing the forthcoming emotional pain of separation.
But I love you enough to wish you Godspeed
Despite the impending separation, expressing deep love and a sincere wish for the other person's well-being.
I've never been the kind to want to love 'em and leave 'em
Affirming a commitment to lasting relationships, not wanting to be transient in love.
If I give you my heart I have forever on my mind
Stating that when love is given, it is with the intention of it being forever.
Some things are meant to belong to a single season
Recognizing that some things are only meant to be part of a specific time or season.
As hard as it is to be left behind
Expressing the difficulty of being left behind in a relationship.
I know it can't be me
Reiterating the realization that the speaker cannot meet the other person's emotional needs.
I know I can't be the one to give you what you need
Acknowledging the limitations in fulfilling the partner's emotional requirements.
I ain't lyin' I know I'll be cryin' when you leave
Anticipating and admitting the emotional pain that will accompany the departure of the other person.
But I love you enough to wish you Godspeed
Repeating the deep love for the other person and the sincere wish for their well-being.
Oh I love you enough to wish you Godspeed

Godspeed as you're rollin' down the track
Wishing the other person success and safety as they continue their journey.
Godspeed I know you ain't comin' back
Acknowledging the finality of the departure, expressing that the other person won't return.
My love for you runs deeper deeper than that
Emphasizing the depth of love, suggesting it goes beyond the physical departure.
I wish you Godspeed
Repeating the wish for success and well-being with the term "Godspeed."
