Goodbye to All That Lyrics
forget all the stones I threw
intent on keeping you, I
lost my keys in a haze of blue,
a crash, a trick of the light
all heady perfume,
we could trace that slow ellipse
all cheeks and fingertips and
grasping with such grave grips but then
the moment is done,
our troubles resume
I’m counting on a fat chance
and turning off the lights
I think about your backwards glance
like every night
I’m clinging to a slim hope
a message in the weeds
we were thick as thieves,
we were as tall as trees
saw you once at a strange address
confused by loneliness, you were
dressed up in nature’s best but then
they wouldn't let up,
I couldn't break through
and when all the dust has cleared
I’ll still be sitting here
all alone at the last frontier
but then I give it all up
I leave it to you
I’ll take you to the west coast
we’ll haunt them in their dreams
we’ll drive around like top down ghosts
dumb, drunk and free, no no no
but of course you miss the seasons
the sorrow in your tea
the buttons on your big down coat
the kinder me
am I keeping you down?
are you sticking around?
intent on keeping you, I
lost my keys in a haze of blue,
a crash, a trick of the light
all heady perfume,
we could trace that slow ellipse
all cheeks and fingertips and
grasping with such grave grips but then
the moment is done,
our troubles resume
and turning off the lights
I think about your backwards glance
like every night
I’m clinging to a slim hope
a message in the weeds
we were thick as thieves,
we were as tall as trees
confused by loneliness, you were
dressed up in nature’s best but then
they wouldn't let up,
I couldn't break through
and when all the dust has cleared
I’ll still be sitting here
all alone at the last frontier
but then I give it all up
I leave it to you
we’ll haunt them in their dreams
we’ll drive around like top down ghosts
dumb, drunk and free, no no no
but of course you miss the seasons
the sorrow in your tea
the buttons on your big down coat
the kinder me
are you sticking around?
