So Long

From a tangle of intention Decision and dead branches I did my best, but couldn't pull out any answers Was living in the lurch behind this fear of going backwards To close another chapter So standing on the pier At the shore of all I've done Nothing left except to wait And hope the tide would come up Isn't it a shame how much I've left upon the dock? In the name of moving on I cut the ropes and cast off I know, I know You've been swimming so slow And there's a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don't lose sight of where you started from I know, I know You've been swimming so slow And there's a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don't lose sight of where you started from Don't lose sight of where you started from In a haze of aimless rest With the crutch of coming last Caved and craned my neck As a year went floating past and Crawled out to the edge It was time to leave the raft Forever on a crest On a wave that couldn't crash Had a hard time coming back Forgot the taste of salt I was grasping at a chance When I got dashed upon the rocks And I'd been casting seams across the bricks in my facade Cracked up, smiling at the tideline Washed up back where I belong I know, I know You've been swimming so slow And there's a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don't lose sight of where you started from I know, I know You've been swimming so slow And there's a light on the horizon So long, so long Hope you make it back home Don't lose sight of where you started from I know, I know (I know, I know) There's a light on the horizon So long, so long (so long, so long) Don't lose sight of where you started from Don't lose sight of where you started from
