Every days the same
I feel them merge
I try to separate
Resist the urge
But they tell me I'll be fine
That it'll all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
Still the words won't play,
And there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
Keep my head on straight
And don't look down
When all I've pushed away
I'm losing ground
But they tell me I'll be fine
That it'll all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
Still the words won't play
And there no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
And from the sidelines watch me
Fall down
Don't understand the things I do
But they tell me I'll be fine
As long I keep moving
Just try to write it down
Till things just keep improving
Still the words won't play
And there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
I feel them merge
I try to separate
Resist the urge
But they tell me I'll be fine
That it'll all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
Still the words won't play,
And there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
Keep my head on straight
And don't look down
When all I've pushed away
I'm losing ground
But they tell me I'll be fine
That it'll all get better
Just try to write it down
Or put it in a letter
Still the words won't play
And there no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye
And from the sidelines watch me
Fall down
Don't understand the things I do
But they tell me I'll be fine
As long I keep moving
Just try to write it down
Till things just keep improving
Still the words won't play
And there's no easy way to say
Goodbye, goodbye

My interpretation of this song is that much like Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill or Robert Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull ... the speaker is following her dreams, and this is leading to decisions carrying her away from the familiar territory (people, ideas) of a "past life". There is a bittersweetness to making decisions and moving on...but in order to really enjoy the change, one must cut ties. It is only by letting something that used to occupy us go that we make room for new improvements. This is pointed out with the line "with all I've pushed away...I'm losing ground" (which seems also an allusion to the afterlife, that by selecting certain things and letting them go she is freeing herself from earthly attachments).
