I now walk
Into the Wild
Say Goodbye society, you’ve lost another
If I should return, it won’t be for a while
If I do return it’d only be to see you smile
-
Cause I could never make you stay
I could never make my way
I could shut you out
I could never shut my mouth
-
I don’t really know what to do
Every time he steps closer to you
Every time I can’t really speak
Every time that we happen to meet
-
La da da
-
Cause I could never make you stay
I could never make my way
I could shut you out
I could never shut my mouth
-
It’ll come and go again
Self-esteem and confidence, my fairest weather friends
Crack beneath the pressure of a truth you’d never know
Worried half to death about the things you can’t control
Everything you write begins to look and sound the same
Never get to where you’re going, walking figure-eights
Even though you try
You’ve always been a shame
Always been a lie
Always been to blame, but!
-
We’re bursting into bloom
Dancing for the coming rain and howling at the moon
Stomping ‘round a fire pit in rhythm to the drums
Smiling through our painted faces, waiting for the sun
Fingers interlacing through another summers night
Leave behind our bodies as we walk into the light
Hold onto your breath
Fall into the sky
For everything that’s left
It’s time to say goodbye
Goodbye!
-
After all that’s come and gone
We lay here sobered by the dawn of Sunday morning
With our starry-eyes
More than just alive together
Living proof that good gets better
Yes, I’m sure
The only thing that I’ve left to decide is how I’m going to say Goodbye

Ya da die
