I'm leaving
For Phoenix, Arizona
As the yellow sun
Collapses to the ground
And blink
As stars ?? into ashes
And all the words you're searching for
Don't have a sound
It doesn't have to mean goodbye
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on
We've lost a thousand loves
In a thousand lives before
This is just one more
A memory
Fades in and out of focus
The color's not as crisp
As they once looked
And all the time and space
That's gotten in between us
Has turned us into characters
From forgotten books
It doesn't have to mean goodbye
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on
We've lost a thousand loves
In a thousand lives before
This is just one more
Cry whatever tears you have to cry
My lonely friend
Shimmering as brilliant lives spin by
And some things end
And some things end
It doesn't have to mean goodbye
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on
For Phoenix, Arizona
As the yellow sun
Collapses to the ground
As stars ?? into ashes
And all the words you're searching for
Don't have a sound
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on
We've lost a thousand loves
In a thousand lives before
This is just one more
Fades in and out of focus
The color's not as crisp
As they once looked
That's gotten in between us
Has turned us into characters
From forgotten books
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on
We've lost a thousand loves
In a thousand lives before
This is just one more
My lonely friend
Shimmering as brilliant lives spin by
And some things end
And some things end
When I'm gone
It doesn't have to break our hearts
To move on

Well, basically in this song he's trying to say that he's going away, and it's sad for his girlfriend and himself to be leaving, but he clearly states that this is not the end, that it really doesn't mean goodbye forever, when he goes. He also says that his girlfriend may as well be speechless to what he just annouced hence the "And all the words you're searching for don't have a sound". He also talks about the memories, that are now fading in his mind. He tells his girlfriend to cry if you're lonely, but if she does this, she will be caught in that moment forvever, while other people live on. And that is pretty much all i could get out of this.
One of my many favorites from The Hanks
i love this song, i love the hanks, they are such awesome guys. I have promoted them many times for shows when they came to washington state. I was super stoked and proud of them when they played warped tour, their music is amazing, probably one of the best underground semi indie band ive ever heard.

the second verse goes
"you blink as dust collects on your eyelashes and all the words youre searching for dont have a sound"
