A Great Farewell

Been driving around in circles tonight

And neither of us spots an exit to get off this empty freeway

I guess we’ll repeat the same mistakes

Knowing nothing’s going to change

Maybe we should both climb inside the mirror

And if the road gets muddy like it does when the rain falls

And if the sky feels like it’s never going to clear

Maybe we could both say our goodbye’s

Get it out of the way before the sun rises

Or maybe we can fix it before dawn

And keep on keeping on

We all hold a piece of an era gone by

When the great gates open we’re still left wondering why

There’s a light that’s out there

If we’re open to the spark

If the storms don’t pass & the skies don’t clear

Don’t make it right for you to disappear

The words I love you still

Sound underwhelming to my ears

And if the road gets muddy like it does when the rain falls

And if the sky feels like it’s never going to clear

This is a story of a great farewell

But It’s not just my story to tell

I’ve only lived it from the backseat of my heart

And the heart it stops and starts

And if your heart feels heavy like it does when the rain falls

And if the sky looks like it’s never going to clear

There’s always a path out of the woods

If we leave now while our luck is good

there’s still time to build a new start

from pieces of my heart
