Goodbye Street
Embracing New Horizons: Goodbye Street's Transformative Tale
Lyrics
There's two sides to every story
There are two perspectives to every situation.
Two lanes to every road
Life offers different paths and choices.
One headed for forever
One path leads to a lasting commitment or future.
God knows where the other one goes
The other path's destination is uncertain, known only to God.
Looks like you took the right one when you left me
The ex-partner seems to have made a better choice.
In your automatic, problematic Chevy
Describes the car left behind, possibly symbolic of problems.
I can't believe that
An expression of disbelief or shock at the situation.
Ooh, I used to be out standing in the rain
Recalls waiting in the rain, possibly for the partner.
Waiting on your headlights pouring through my windowpane
Waiting for the partner's arrival, perhaps seeking reconciliation.
But I sold that broken-hearted
The speaker decided to sell the home full of heartbreak.
Hopeless home on lonely lane where you left me
Describes the lonely and hopeless nature of the home left behind.
And got a pretty good deal on goodbye street
Received a good deal or found a positive outcome on "goodbye street."
That new porch swing on my front porch
The new porch swing symbolizes a fresh start.
Gets to swing a whole lot more
Increased enjoyment of life on the speaker's own terms.
My favorite shade of powder blue's
The color blue represents positivity and tranquility.
Fresh on my front door
A new beginning with positive changes.
The grass is so much greener on this side of my picket fence
Life is better on the speaker's side of the situation.
And when the red birds sing out here, I swear I could forget that
The speaker can almost forget the past when surrounded by beauty.
Ooh, I used to be out standing in the rain
Recalls the past waiting in the rain, indicating a change.
Waiting on your headlights pouring through my windowpane
Continuation of waiting and hoping, contrasting with the present.
But I sold that broken-hearted
Reiteration of selling the heartbroken home.
Hopeless home on lonely lane where you left me
Reemphasizes the desolation of the home left behind.
And got a pretty good deal on goodbye street
Positive outcome or resolution found on "goodbye street."
Hey yeah
An expression of affirmation or agreement.
Where the sun is shining always
Describes a positive environment where the sun always shines.
Brand new face in my picture frames
A new person in the speaker's life, suggesting moving on.
The more I love you's in the hallways
Increased expressions of love but less desire for the past.
The less I wish you'd stayed
The more love received, the less the speaker wishes for the past.
Ooh, I used to be out standing in the rain
Recalls past feelings of waiting in the rain.
Waiting on your headlights pouring through my windowpane
Continued waiting contrasted with the current positive situation.
But I sold that broken-hearted
Reiteration of selling the heartbroken home.
Hopeless home on lonely lane where you left me
Reemphasizes the desolation of the home left behind.
And got a pretty good deal on goodbye street, ooh
Positive outcome or resolution found on "goodbye street."
And got a pretty good deal on goodbye street, ooh
