Drowning in Goodbyes

Date: 10/29/2001

We're standing outside
On a cold fall day
And I know seasons change
And as the day turns to night
There's not much I could say

It's not like we knew
That it could never happen
It's not like I thought
That we could be immune
To all the things that hurt the others
But did it have to be so soon?

And standing here with you
I feel I'm drowning in goodbyes
And I can't bear
To see you drowning in goodbyes
No matter how many times
We say our last goodbyes
The words keep on coming
But they're all the same
There's not much I could say

It's not like we knew
That it could never happen
It's not like I thought
That we could be immune
But I'll try to be strong
As you cry in my arms...

And I try to hide it
But still I'm drowning in goodbyes
And it seems like I'm fine
But I find I'm drowning in goodbyes
We're standing outside
On a cold fall day
We're standing outside
On a cold fall day
Just standing outside
On a cold fall day
And I know seasons change

This song is dedicated to a friend. It's about the end of a long relationship, standing outside and saying goodbye. It took me years to realize the truth behind the lies, but this song is about a time when I was just starting to figure out the meaning of it all...
