I loves this song it's so poetic and just gives me a good feeling even though it's kinda sad, I think. I'm a little stumped about the meaning though, I'm guessin it's about a guy tellin his girl to say goodbye to the good ol days of their relationship because they're gone. But I might be wrong? If I am, can someone please enlighten me? :)
