I've got this whole thing figured out
I was lost in the middle of a stupid town
where everything just seems to repeat
over and over again
and then it hit me like a spear right through my chest
I realized then
that this life is only a test
to make us feel, to make us break,
to make us want to give up (but we can't give up)

[Chorus:]
Here's farewell
to everything I've ever known
and here's goodbye
to everyone I've ever known
as of tonight I'm gone
I'm moving on, I've won
and I don't want to stand
in this moment here forever
so goodbye

Sometimes I think that I determine the ending
of everything
and every day I'm still thinking about her
it's just a blur
I had one chance to make it right
to make it work and
I blew it all away
it feels like I'm running around in a race
and the cold wind keeps smacking me right in the face
but this doesn't make any sense
the road keeps on going

[Chorus]

So goodbye time to go
I'm driving through these state lines
finally made up my mind
is it wrong to want something more?
I'm on a crash course headed
for a New York setting
and I hope it turns out just right
maybe then I can feel alive
for the first time

[Chorus]
