Just Goodbye
Embracing Farewell: Late Runner's Poetic Journey of Goodbye
Lyrics
1.
Expressing regret for letting someone down and acknowledging a part of the speaker has already moved on.
Goodbye, I never meant to let you down
Reflecting on the desire to say goodbye and live a stereotypical farewell without remorse or second thoughts.
But a part of me already left town
Highlighting the difficulty of coping with the past and moving forward when too much time has passed.
So just goodbye, if only I could live out the cliche
Expressing hope to meet again after a storm has passed but before a new challenge arises.
Of no remorse or second thoughts, just seize the day
Conveying a longing to reunite, coupled with a sense of urgency to seize the opportunity.
2.
Reiterating the challenges of dealing with the past and the importance of saying goodbye.
When you think too much of time that has gone
Emphasizing the difficulty of moving on when memories of the past linger.
It's hard for you to cope and get along
Expressing the hope to meet again and reconcile once the difficulties have subsided.
So just goodbye, I hope that I, will see you once again
Mentioning the challenge of parting before an inevitable separation represented by the moon's ascent.
When thunder's gone, but before the moon ascend

Take care of everyone I know, I gotta go
