The Long Goodbye

This feels like a place we can stay
Smiling faces at the back of the room
Seems to have all we should dream of
But our thoughts will turn to leaving soon

I only just made it through the door
So why am I standing in the hall
One eye on the long goodbye
The other on tearing up the night

This is the long goodbye
We can sit and stare at the TV screen
Or climb on the roof and see if we can fly

And finally everybody's here
We can do our best to forget who we are
Try to touch the sky or just drink away our fears

The smartest day of the rest of my life
Time turns to dust right before my eyes
My cracked hands remember more than my mind
And then I have to face all of history's lies

I don't remember why you love me
I don't remember what I said
I just stare at these fucking walls
As a drone delivers medicine to my bed

This is the long goodbye
We can sit and stare at the TV screen
Or climb on the roof and see if we can fly

And finally everybody's here
We can do our best to forget who we are
Try to touch the sky or just drink away our fears

This is the long goodbye
We can sit and stare at the TV screen
Or climb on the roof and see if we can fly

And finally everybody's here
We can do our best to forget who we are
Try to touch the sky or just drink away our fears

This is the long goodbye
We can sit and stare at the TV screen
Or climb on the roof and see if we can fly
See if we can fly
See if we can fly
See if we can fly
