So Long, So Long

[Verse 1, Chris Carrabba] Hand out the window Floatin’ on air Just a flip of the wrist And I'm wavin’ you goodbye [Verse 2, Chris Carrabba] Drive past the lifeguard stand Where I'd sit around Waiting for you to remember As I drive [Pre-Chorus, Chris Carrabba] How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes And the very dreams that led to them Are keeping them from dying And how the grace with which she walked into your life Will stay with you in your steps And pace with you a while [Chorus] For so long, so long, so long, so long [Verse 3, Chris Carabba and Adam Duritz] The speaker in this door is blown So nothing sounds quite right Taking my time, taking this drive Waving this town, goodbye [Verse 4, Chris Carabba and Adam Duritz] And I drive this ocean road and remember The small of your back, nape of your neck I remember everything as I drive Waving this town, goodbye [Pre-Chorus, Chris Carrabba] How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes And the very dreams that led to them Are keeping them from dying And how the grace with which she walked into your life Will stay with you in your steps And pace with you a while [Chorus, Chris Carabba and Adam Duritz] So long, so long, so long, so long So long, so long, so long, so long (Taking my time, taking this drive) So long, so long (Waving this town, goodbye) So long, so long So long, so long, so long, so long [Bridge, Chris Carabba and Adam Duritz; both] And I will leave under the cover Of summer’s kiss upon the sky Like the stone face of your lover Just before she says goodbye And I was certain that the season Could be held between my arms But just as summer’s hold is fleeting I was here but now I’m gone (So long, so long) And I’m gone (So long, so long) [Outro, Chris Carabba and Adam Duritz] I'm gone, I'm gone (So long, so long) I'm gone, I'm gone (So long, so long) I'm gone, I'm gone (So long, so long) I'm gone, I'm gone (So long, so long) I'm gone, I'm gone (So long, so long)
