Run the bath
Light the match
This part of my life is through
Planned my days
in bullet points
Now it’s all brand new
but I long for my dream
I guess things aren’t always what they seem
And I
need to say
Goodbye.
I’d like to think
I’m not naive
I know situations change
City lights
Still shine bright
Lost her heart, but kept her name
and I long for the time
I stood on Broadway, eyes were wide
and I remember years ago
watching music through the windows
Bittersweet
memories
Goodbye.
Pirate ships wait on the east horizon
Jump on board, aim for high seas
This is just a brand new chapter
In my autobiography
My brain is always happy
Where my heart can still create
I will still be scatterbrained
I will still always run late
I will still love super-fiercely
Always stand up for what’s right
I’ll just do it
under a different
sky
Bags are packed
Empty bath
No more candles to burn down
There’s a road
and a car
and a path out of this town
and I will cherish the time
I thought I knew what would be mine
I will learn to let go
head squarely toward the unknown
Sweet city
I used to know
Sweet city
I love so
Sweet city
Goodbye.
