How to Say Goodbye Lyrics
Leaving isn't quite the same--
he said to me--as running away.
If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of,
well why should you stay?
He loved to say, "goodbye,"
and always counted out the time,
until he was free, to get up and leave,
to learn how to breathe
again.
Slipping out to have a cigarette,
with someone else that he'd never met.
Ask her if, "by the way would she like to run away
and try to forget?
"Or just not to stay, to leave without saying why?
"To get up and go,
to catch the last train,
to get in some car,
and drive out again,
to never come back this way,
and have to say:
"Goodbye
So long
Farewell
Au revoir
Goodbye
So long
Farewell
Au revoir."

Quite simply, I believe that this song is about loving someone, and that person leaving.
Had the OST of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist for a long time but just saw the movie and this song is just beautiful! This song could be whay i've been through with my ex gf, a mix between happyness and sadness... The hardest part is always to let go and to know when to let go can take some time!
at the end:
"goodbye so long farewell au revoir"
