Glad Goodbye
Embracing Change: A Glad Goodbye by Marshall Crenshaw
Lyrics
Our road, leads to another road, that ends at another road
Expressing the journey of life leading to various paths and destinations.
That's long and wide
Describing the width and length of the roads, symbolizing the vast possibilities of life.
And I've been, waiting for the day to come
Anticipating a significant moment or event.
Everything's ready to go, waiting outside
Being prepared for a departure, with everything in readiness.
I'm gonna say a glad goodbye, say a glad goodbye
Expressing the intention to bid farewell joyfully.
Its way past time for a second thought
Indicating decisiveness, emphasizing the lack of hesitation in the decision.
Its gonna be one glad goodbye, one glad goodbye
Reiterating the determination to have a positive and joyful farewell.
A few miles away from this place and time is what I want
Desiring a destination a few miles away from the current place and time.
Were going with the changing of the season
Choosing to move forward in alignment with the changing seasons of life.
The ground is frozen and the sky is gray
Painting a wintry scene, possibly representing challenges and difficulties.
It always got me in the wintertime
Reflecting on the impact of winter on emotions and experiences.
That desolate feeling that wouldn't stay away
Describing a persistent feeling of desolation that is hard to shake off.
Were gonna say a glad goodbye, say a glad goodbye
Reaffirming the intention to say a joyful farewell, avoiding future blues.
I won't be here next time the blues comes around
Expressing the absence from future moments of sadness or melancholy.
Its gonna be one glad goodbye, one glad goodbye
Emphasizing the positive nature of the upcoming farewell.
Where the sunlight still remembers how to shine is where I'm bound
Expressing a desire to move towards a place where positivity persists.
Got no rest last night wondering where the years have gone
Reflecting on the passage of time and questioning its fleeting nature.
Time never will stop and wait, well you can't be left to waste
Highlighting the inevitability of time and the need to seize opportunities.
And you know you've got to go, you gotta do it when you know
Stressing the importance of making decisions when the time is right.
That what you thought you'd always loved
Questioning the permanence of things once thought to be everlasting.
Is one you're better off being rid of
Suggesting that parting with certain things can be beneficial.
Were going with the changing of the season
Continuing the theme of moving forward in harmony with changing seasons.
Without much sadness, without much fear
Facing the future without excessive sorrow or fear.
What waits over the horizon is not like anything well ever find here
Anticipating that what lies ahead is unlike anything experienced before.
Were gonna say a glad goodbye, say a glad goodbye
Reiterating the intention to bid a joyful farewell, dismissing doubts.
It's way past time for a second thought
Emphasizing decisiveness in the decision to part ways.
It's gonna be one glad goodbye, one glad goodbye
Affirming the positive nature of the impending farewell.
A few miles away is what I want
Expressing the desire for a destination a few miles away from the current location.
It's gonna be one glad goodbye, one glad goodbye
Repeating the positivity of the upcoming farewell.
I won't be here
Stating the absence in the future moment being referred to.
Were gonna say a glad goodbye, say a glad goodbye
Reaffirming the intention to say a joyful farewell, reiterating its timeliness.
It's way past time
Underlining the decisiveness in the timing of the decision to part ways.
