A Long Goodbye

[Verse 1] Did you hear the one about the girl Who'd never seen a cactus tree? In her mind she traveled around the world But never saw a plane until seventeen [Pre-Chorus] White knuckling the armrest only bound for Idaho Hoping for the best but you don't know what you don't know [Chorus] That it only takes a window seat To see the world was underwater too And I only had to lose my way To be found by you To be found by you [Verse 2] He went out the window on a New Year's Day And shattered his body on a downtown street Yeah, we're all just a broken heart away From making a promise that we're forced to keep [Pre-Chorus] Doing 90 in a 45 on Ambien and Jack The spinning wheel makes a ticking sound and sometimes it lands on black [Chorus] Some kids make it home at night And some kids never do I almost had to lose my mind To be found by you To be found by you [Verse 3] There's a picture of you on your grandma's wall You and your hair are straight and light It's just an awkward moment that's locked in time But I can see Elijah in your eyes [Pre-Chorus] What I wouldn't give to hold you in those days and still What if we had broke up over Jagged Little Pill? [Chorus] We don't curse the broken miles of age That it takes to see this through Yeah, I probably had to lose those years To be found by you I know I had to lose my way To be found by you [Outro] In a moment everything could change Anything can change Let it go Keep it light Let it snow Let the wind blow all night It's only life after all It's a blink of an eye It's a long goodbye It's a long goodbye It's a long Goodbye
