Before I'm Leaving
Farewell Echoes: Embracing Change and Saying Yes
Lyrics
Goodbye old friend
Expressing farewell to an old friend.
Hope I will see you again
Expressing hope for a future reunion.
someplace, sometime
Speculating about meeting again in some unspecified place and time.
You know how it is when
Acknowledging the familiar feeling when time seems to drag on.
it feels like the day never ends
Describing the perception that the day is endless before finding something.
before you find
Emphasizing the need to search before discovering something significant.
times are ever changing
Noting the inevitability of changing times.
while we remain the same
Contrasting the changing times with our unchanging nature.
I'll take another look before I'm leaving
Taking one last look before departing.
We don't get to keep anything
Reflecting on the impermanence of possessions and experiences.
Like names in the sand
Drawing a parallel between names in the sand and transient existence.
will always wash away
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of things that will eventually disappear.
we must go
Accepting the inevitability of moving on.
So goodbye old friend
Repeating the farewell to the old friend.
and maybe for now we'll pretend
Suggesting the possibility of pretending not to know the inevitable changes.
we don't know
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future.
times are ever changing
Reiterating the theme of changing times and unchanging selves.
while we remain the same
Expressing the need for self-awareness amid changing circumstances.
I'll take another look before I'm leaving
Repeating the idea of taking a final look before departure.
and say yes to everything
Encouraging an affirmative attitude toward life's opportunities.
say yes to everything
Repeating the encouragement to embrace all experiences.
