"Goodbye" is not a word to signify a parting
It's a distant promise to keep until our next encounter
Though you say it is a longing for where your dreams are
I say you are only trying to startle me
Even though I wanna hold you tight
For so many hours this way
Even though I just wanna keep
Your cold cheeks warm this way
The city is a constantly frantic old place
Where love is buried inside a concrete casket
If you ever get tired of pursuing a love out of destiny
Please come back to me
While I store all the men I loved in my fond memories
I urge that someday they will
Do the same for me
Just stick a tiny note somewhere at the corner of their hearts
With a suitcase that's
Packed to the brim with a heavy load called hope
You are probably gonna pretend it's light
And flash a smile as you carry it
While I turn all the men I loved into a sort of brilliance
I urge that someday they will
Try to remember me
Just stick a tiny note somewhere at the corner of their hearts
