Lyrics
LONG GOODBYE
Introduction: The title suggests a prolonged farewell.
Hey baby I worry ‘bout you all the time
Expressing concern about the person's well-being.
I know we didn’t hold the light
Acknowledging past difficulties or challenges.
But you are always on my mind
Despite challenges, the person is always in the thoughts.
Yeah baby
Reiterating the emotional connection.
They’ll tell you
Others may reassure, saying everything will be okay.
It’ll be alright
Continuing with reassurances.
They’ll tell you it’ll all be fine
Despite advice, the relationship faced difficulties.
But we’ve done all those lonesome lines
Acknowledging the challenges and struggles faced.
Drag this on it can’t be wrong
Suggesting that extending the pain is not the right choice.
Stay
A plea to stay and face the challenges together.
Say the long goodbye
Reiterating the idea of a prolonged farewell.
Let’s relive the lie
Suggesting a desire to revisit and dwell in a false reality.
It doesn’t have to be over
Expressing hope that the relationship doesn't have to end.
Stay
Repeating the plea to stay and face challenges.
Say the long goodbye
Reiterating the idea of a prolonged farewell.
Save me for a while
Requesting to be saved or preserved for a while.
It doesn’t have to be over
Emphasizing the desire for the relationship to continue.
I keep chasing
Expressing a continuous pursuit despite obstacles.
I know I’m just a dream away
Acknowledging the distance between reality and dreams.
I wish I found the words to say
Regret over not finding the right words in time.
Before our moment slipped away
Reflecting on a missed opportunity.
Seems crazy
Recognizing the irrationality of the situation.
But looking back at all the pain
Retrospective acknowledgment of pain endured.
I’d bottle every drop of rain
A metaphorical desire to capture every moment of pain.
To be the way we were again
Expressing a longing for the past.
Drag this on it can’t be wrong
Reiterating the idea that prolonging the pain is not justified.
Stay
Repeating the plea to stay despite challenges.
Say the long goodbye
Reiterating the idea of a prolonged farewell.
Let’s relive the lie
Expressing a willingness to dwell in a false reality.
It doesn’t have to be over
Reiterating hope that the relationship can continue.
Stay
Repeating the plea to stay despite challenges.
Say the long goodbye
Requesting preservation of the relationship for a while.
Save me for a while
Expressing a strong desire for the relationship to endure.
I don’t want it to be over
Asserting a refusal for the relationship to end.
Kiss a little longer
Suggesting a desire for more intimate moments.
Catch a little fire
Metaphorically urging to keep the passion alive.
Nothing is forever
Philosophical statement on the impermanence of things.
Don’t believe in time
Rejecting the concept of time as a limiting factor.
Stay!….
A final plea to stay in the relationship.
