Lyrics

We Said Hello Goodbye

[Verse 1] We said goodbye to a dear old friend And we packed our bags and left feeling sad It's the only way We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads gave a smile It's the only way, only way [Chorus] Turn your head and don't look back Set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around, don't look down Ooh, there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there, ah [Verse 2] Well it really don't matter much where you are 'Cause home is in your heart It's a feeling that you wake with one day Some people keep running all of their life And still find they haven't gone too far They don't see it's the feeling inside, the feeling inside, oh [Chorus] Turn your head and don't look back Just set your sails for a new horizon Don't turn around, don't look down Ooh, there's life across the tracks And you know it's really not surprising It gets better when you get there [Outro] We said hello as we turned the key A new roof over our heads gave a smile It's the only way
