this is goodbye

Goodbye to hometown expectations

Goodbye to my favorite dream

Goodbye to the perks and the lasts and the firsts

And the look on my mom's face when she hears me sing

Goodbye to the part you were playing

Goodbye to respect in a room

I didn't know I had so much to lose

This is goodbye to a lot more than you

Goodbye Friday mornings

Goodbye inside jokes

Goodbye to the songs that the world never heard

All the midnight joints we never smoked

I smile when I stumble on a memory

And I cry after I've had a few

When you walked away, bet that you never knew

This is goodbye to a lot more than you

Goodbye to what I thought was my future

Goodbye to eight years of my past

To the nights with the band

Lookin' out at the fans

And the lights thinkin' 'damn, what a view'

This is goodbye to a lot more than you

It's been a delight and it sucks that it's through

Goodbye
