Dashboard Confessional - So Long, So Long

Hand out the window

Floatin' on air

Just a flip of the wrist

I'd be wavin' you goodbye

Drive past the lifeguard stand

Where I sit around waiting for you to remember

How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them

are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

Paced with you a while

So long, so long 

The speaker in this door is blown

So nothing sounds quite right

I drive this ocean road

And remember

The small of your back

And the nape of your neck

I remember everything as I drive

waving this town goodbye

How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them

are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay with you in your steps,

Pace with you a while

So long, so long...

And I will leave under the cover

Of summer's kiss upon the sky

Like the storm face of your lover

Just before she says goodbye

I was thinking that the season

could be held between my arms

But just as summer's hold is fleeting

I was here and now I'm gone

I'm gone...(so long, so long...)
