Drowning in Goodbyes
Date: 10/29/2001
We're standing outsideOn 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 youNo matter how many times
I feel I'm drowning in goodbyes
And I can't bear
To see you drowning in goodbyes
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 itWe're standing outside
But still I'm drowning in goodbyes
And it seems like I'm fine
But I find I'm drowning in goodbyes
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...
