So Long, for Now Lyrics

I was a bird on the wing
You were an open sky
I've never known such a thing
And it felt like heaven to fly

But oceans have come between us
And silence rolls in like a storm
Others are waiting to meet us
Soft with a touch so warm

It's freedom from falling
Soaring and calling out
So long

The end of our story
Baby, we take our bow
And so long, for now

But I will keep you a place
Stay as long as you like
I'll never tell

I'd not felt it before
When I met you, it changed me
I'll never tell

So how does a bird forget flying
And why would a fish hate the sea
And I'll never lose you darling
You're in my memory

Maybe if I stop trying
Maybe if I sit still
You'll come back to me somehow
Either way I wish you well

It's freedom from falling
Soaring and calling out
So long

The end of our story
Baby, take our bow
And so long, for now
For now

I will keep you a place
Stay as long as you like
I'll never tell

I'd not felt it before
When I met you, it changed me
I'll never tell

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
