Lyrics
We say goodbye
We are bidding farewell
To you my friends
Saying goodbye to our friends
We say goodbye
Reiterating the farewell
We'll meet again
Expressing the anticipation of meeting again
We say goodbye
Another farewell, possibly to those who stayed behind
To those who stayed
Farewell to those who remained
And soon we'll meet another day
Hopeful about meeting again in the future
(Some sunny day)
A reference to a positive future encounter ("Some sunny day")
So please just hold, me, love, me while
Plea to be held and loved during a transitional period
I'm, still, me
Emphasizing the importance of remaining oneself
So keep me close
Request to be kept close emotionally
So keep me while I'm host
Asking to be supported while in a hosting role
(While I'm still host)
Reiteration of the hosting context ("While I'm still host")
We say goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment
When all is through
Transitioning to a greeting phase
We say hello
Asking about the well-being of the greeted person
And how are you?
Repeating the farewell theme
We say goodbye
Acknowledging the enjoyment of shared experiences
We've had our fun
Parting words for loved ones
We say goodbye to
Specific mention of saying goodbye to loved ones
The ones we love
Repeating the farewell to loved ones
(The ones we love)
Emphasizing the importance of holding and loving during transition
So please just hold, me, love, me while
Reiteration of the plea for support during change
I'm, still, me
Reiterating the importance of being oneself
Can't you see?
Pleading for understanding and recognition
Now my name is--
Interrupted statement indicating a change or transformation
We say goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment
And I love you
Expressing love during the parting moment
You will be mine
Claiming possession or connection with the addressed person
Just let me shapeshift
Desire to undergo a transformation or change
Time moves too fast
Reflection on the fast pace of time
Put me to rest
Request to be put to rest, possibly signifying a desire for peace
Just call me sweet
Asking to be addressed affectionately
I'm Emily (Take me so I can start over)
Introduction of the name "Emily" and a desire for a fresh start
I wanna be like--
Expressing a wish to emulate someone or something
I don't wanna be
Rejecting the idea of being a certain way
All on my
Feeling a sense of independence
All on my own
Emphasizing solitude or individuality
All on my own
Reiteration of the sense of being alone
If only there's a way that we could
Expressing a desire for a solution or change
Split into sixteen
Suggesting a wish to divide into different entities
But for now
Temporary acceptance of the current situation
We'll just be we
Affirmation of collective identity
