So Long

I want to see the world evolve
I want to speak with all who know
I want to learn what can be told
Can you expect not to unfold
When all your thoughts implode?

Please consider all the others
Please try to keep hope alive
Please remember to be grateful
To those who've given up the fight
For me to conquer mine

Don't you forget it, don't you forget it, don't you forget it
It's gone, oh, it's gone
And now you regret it, now you regret it, now you regret it
So long, so long

Those trees look really pretty
The sky's the right shade of blue
The bell strikes out at the hour
And it's clear we've made ourselves known
In these lands we call our own

I hope there's no one that I used
At least not more than they could handle
Sometimes death comes just as easy
As breathing heavy near a burning candle
That should have been more bold

Now don't you forget it, don't you forget it, don't you forget it
It's gone, oh, it's gone
And now you regret it, now you regret it, now you regret it
So long, so long
