goodbye lover
Farewell Chronicles: A Journey Through Love, Loss, and Midnight Memories
Lyrics
We were driving back from the cabin, drove into some two story town
We were returning from a cabin, entering a two-story town.
There were fairgrounds set up for the evening with people from miles around
A fairground was set up for the evening, attracting people from miles around.
And we snuck in when the guards weren't looking and played
We entered without being noticed by guards and played.
We ate junk and took photos and lost all the games
We indulged in junk food, took photos, and lost games.
We were a ferris wheel round and around
We were like a ferris wheel, spinning with beautiful views.
With beautiful views you can't get from the ground
The beauty from the wheel is unattainable from the ground.
But beautiful things always come to an end
Beautiful things always have an end.
Goodbye lover
Saying farewell to a lover.
Goodbye old friend
Bidding farewell to an old friend.
We watched a thousand hours of TV and too many comedy shows
Spent countless hours watching TV and too many comedy shows.
We told a thousand terrible jokes and borrowed each other's best clothes
Shared numerous terrible jokes and borrowed each other's clothes.
Dead of the night you'd start shaking unable trying to breath
Experiencing nighttime anxiety attacks, struggling to breathe.
Working through trauma that I wasn't ready to see
Confronting unprepared trauma.
We were a midnight panic attack
They were like a midnight panic attack.
Where a beautiful pain lays you flat on your back
A beautiful pain that leaves you incapacitated.
But beautiful pains always come to an end
Beautiful pains also have an end.
Goodbye lover
Saying goodbye to a lover.
Goodbye old friend
Bidding farewell to an old friend.
I don't accept
Refusing to accept.
The phone's going to ring
Expecting a phone call.
Somehow we're going to go back
Hoping to return to shared moments in bed.
To sleeping in your bed
Recalling intimate moments with bodies entangled.
Bodies entangled
Listening for the breath of a loved one.
While I'm listening for your breath
Reflecting on a moment of kneeling and crying in solitude.
Then came the night where I knelt just to cry in a corner, my palms on the floor
Nights haunted by the ghosts of their past selves.
Then came the nights where we tried to sleep with the ghosts of who we were before
Torn between the desire to love endlessly and the fatigue of moving on.
And some part of me wants to love you until I am gone
Becoming memories and fading away, including voicemails and unreturned books.
And some part of me is just tired and wants to move on
The pain of missing someone gradually diminishes.
Soon we'll be figments, and pictures we took
Final farewell to a lover.
The voicemails you left me, the unreturned books
Final farewell to an old friend.
And even the missing you will fade in the end
The process of missing someone will eventually fade.
Goodbye lover
Saying goodbye to a lover.
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) lover
Repeating the farewell to an old friend.
Goodbye old friend
The final goodbye to an old friend.
