Lyrics
My eyes are open wide
Expressing awareness and alertness.
By the way, I made it through the day
Successfully navigating through the challenges of the day.
I watch the world outside
Observing the world outside, perhaps contemplating life.
By the way, I'm leaving out today
Announcing the decision to leave today.
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Reference to witnessing a rare event (Halley's comet) with a personification (she waved).
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
A question about a tendency to avoid progress or change.
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Symbolic disappearance, emphasizing loneliness or isolation.
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Describing a location in the Earth's atmosphere, adding a sense of distance.
Tell my mother, tell my father
Instructing to convey a message to both parents.
I've done the best I can
Expressing efforts made in life.
To make them realize this is my life
Asserting individuality and the importance of personal choices.
I hope they understand
Expressing hope that parents comprehend the individual's perspective.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Clarifying the emotional state - not angry but communicating.
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Suggesting that parting ways can provide an opportunity for a new beginning.
Please don't cry one tear for me
Pleading not to mourn or be sad for the decision made.
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
Expressing fearlessness in speaking one's truth.
This is my one and only voice
Stating the importance of the individual's voice.
So listen close, it's only for today
Asking for attentive listening as this expression is temporary.
I just saw Halley's comet, she waved
Repeating the comet imagery, emphasizing the rarity of the moment.
Said, "Why you always runnin' in place?"
Reiterating the question about stagnant behavior.
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Reinforcing the sense of isolation or loss.
Somewhere in the stratosphere
Repeating the atmospheric reference, emphasizing distance.
Tell my mother, tell my father
Reiterating the instruction to convey a message to parents.
I've done the best I can
Reaffirming efforts made in life.
To make them realize this is my life
Reiterating the importance of individual choices and life.
I hope they understand
Reiterating hope for parental understanding.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Repeating the emotional clarification - not angry but communicating.
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Repeating the idea that saying goodbye can be an opportunity for a fresh start.
Here is my chance
Emphasizing the current moment as a chance for change.
This is my chance
Reiterating the significance of the current opportunity.
Tell my mother, tell my father
Reiterating the instruction to convey a message to parents.
I've done the best I can
Reaffirming efforts made in life.
To make them realize this is my life
Reiterating the importance of individual choices and life.
I hope they understand
Reiterating hope for parental understanding.
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Repeating the emotional clarification - not angry but communicating.
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Repeating the idea that saying goodbye can be an opportunity for a fresh start.
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Emphasizing that parting ways can lead to new beginnings.
Sometimes "Goodbye" is a second chance
Reiterating the idea that saying goodbye can provide a second chance.
