Goodbye Forever, Maybe

I might disappear someday
Fall off the map, find a little hideaway
Inside a cave, and I will paint the walls all day
Make a mosaic of stains with feather brushes
And I'll take my time with it
Because I care about my craft

And they will find what's left of me
A thousand years after I've passed
Just art and bones
The only things that ever last
Just art and bones
The only things that ever last

So, goodbye, forever, maybe
I might just take off and go
There's no need to look for me
'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go
Goodbye, forever, maybe so

I might disappear sometime
Call in sick from work
And gather every single dime I've ever earned
And I will turn my back on life
Buy a little barkentine, make up the best crew
I can find, we'll chase the sun
Because we don't like chasing trends
They'll call me captain
And I, laughing love to call them all my men
And our adventures hardly ever seem to end
Our adventures hardly ever seem to end

So, goodbye, forever, maybe
I might just take off and go
There's no need to look for me
'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go
Goodbye, forever, maybe so

I might never leave this town
I might find a girl, and she might need to buy a gown
White picket fences, no expense is too much now
Since I've been working as a clerk
I've saved and put a payment down
We got the house, and 30 years of mortgages
We pay the bills, we watch TV
And we might have a couple kids
I'm scared of that
But what if that is all there is?
I'm scared of that
But what if that is all there is?

So, goodbye, forever, maybe
I might just take off and go
There's no need to look for me
'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go
Goodbye, forever, maybe so
