"A Long Goodbye (Sad Gay Version)" lyrics

Did you hear the one about the girl
Who'd never seen a cactus tree?
In her mind, she traveled around the world
But never saw a plane until seventeen

White knuckling the armrest, only bound for Idaho
Hoping for the best, but you don't know what you don't know

That it only takes a window seat
To see the world was underwater too
I only had to lose my way
To be found by you
To be found by you

He went out the window on a New Year's Day
And shattered his body on a downtown street
Yeah, we're all just a broken heart away
From making a promise that we're forced to keep

Doing 90 in a 45 on Ambien and Jack
The spinning wheel makes a ticking sound and sometimes it lands on black

And some kids make it home at night
But some kids never do
I almost had to lose my mind
To be found by you
To be found by you

Well, there's a picture of you on your grandma's wall
You and your hair are straight and light
It's just an awkward moment that's locked in time
But I can see Elijah in your eyes

What I wouldn't give to hold you in those days and still
What if we had broke up over Jagged Little Pill?

We don't curse the broken miles of age
That it takes to see this through
How I probably had to lose those years
To be found by you
I know I had to lose my way
To be found by you

In a moment, everything could change
Anything can change
Anything, anything

Let it go
Keep it light
Let it snow
Let the wind blow all night
It's only life, after all
It's the blink of an eye
It's a long goodbye
It's a long goodbye

Let it go
Keep it light
Let it snow
Let the wind blow all night
It's only life, after all
It's the blink of an eye
It's a long goodbye
It's a long goodbye
It's a long
Goodbye
