These cities blur before me A swirl of colors leaned against the sky Gone so far away And I never really told you goodbye I know it's kind of lame Sometimes things just turn out that way We were the best of friends And I'll always thought that it would be that way We started out with nothing Wild plans and big ideas, and dreams You were quick to swing the hammer Always fast with some ingenious scheme Sometimes we argued violently But forged it out of bedrock into steel Our foundations were so solid And our instincts based on something very real And I feel so damned nostalgic Every time I think about those times I forget how it became That I wouldn't recognize you on the line And I start to feel so guilty But goddamn it, I swear to you I triedTo bridge between the distances Before I left without saying goodbye I have friends I met last weekend And friends that I have known since I was eight Friends I've said goodbye to And friends who unexpectedly passed away And nothing is disposable At least it's never been that way to me It's not like you were an acquaintance That I could say never meant anything to me We were really great friends And I always thought that it would be that way Yet I wonder if I'd know you If the guy that I saw last walked in here today And I swear until I dieI never would have expected you and ITo grow so far apart And leave without ever saying goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
