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 playin'
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 (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Goodbye inside jokes (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Goodbye to the songs that the world never heard (ooh, ooh, ooh)
All the midnight joints that we never smoked (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I smile when I stumble on a memory (ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I cry after I've had a few (ooh, ooh, ooh)
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 (bye)
