Endless Farewell Lyrics

Rise and shine, get your razor sharp
Size up yourself in the mirror
A slice of life
To last through all the years

'Cause sooner or later
It all comes back to you
And we will remember
The fine things you can do

I'm giving back all the things that you gave to me
I'm saving up the price to pay the decree
Remember the first time you saw the rising sun
You may be done but I've just begun

The leaves are burning and the ashes have blown away
I'm turning over new leaves almost every day

You let him think you'd just as soon stay
Let him think you had nothing to say
Now you want him to just let you go away

To find some fangled security
Some strangled form of purity
To restore your faith
In all the things you've come to hate
You give and you take
And you leave, leave it alone
What I want so badly:
For this to be a place you can call home

And I haven't felt this way
Since yesterday, but I don't remember when
What I want so badly:
To be someone you can call a friend

'Til we meet again

Endless farewell
Hello, hello, hello again
Endless farewell
Hello, hello, hello again
Endless farewell
Hello, hello, hello again
