[00:15.64] Saturday sunset, we're lyin' on my bed
[00:20.15] With five hours to go
[00:25.54] Fingers entwined and so were our minds
[00:29.86] Cryin', "I don't want you to go"
[00:35.70] You wiped away tears, but not fears
[00:38.67] Under the still and clear indigo
[00:45.05] You said "Baby, don't cry, we'll be fine
[00:48.84] You're the one thing I swear I can't outgrow"
[00:55.47] My mother said the younger me was a pretending prodigy
[01:00.78] Well, nothin', then, much has changed
[01:05.08] 'Cause while you're wolfin' down liquor
[01:07.81] My soul, it gets sicker
[01:10.20] But I'm stickin' to the screenplay
[01:12.64] Gotta say I'm okay, but answer this, babe
[01:15.57] How is it now that, somehow, you're a stranger?
[01:20.70] You were mine just yesterday
[01:25.79] I pray the block in my airway dissipates
[01:29.78] And instead deters your airplane's way
[01:34.88] But heaven denied
[01:39.18] Destiny decried
[01:45.02] Somethin' beautiful died
[01:49.85] Too soon
[01:54.63] But I'm lettin' go
[01:59.69] I'm givin' up the ghost
[02:04.74] But don't get me wrong
[02:08.46] I'll always love you, that's why I
[02:10.10] Wrote you this very last song
[02:14.95] I guess this is where we say goodbye
[02:24.30] I know I'll be alright
[02:29.34] Someday, I'll be fine
[02:34.41] But just not tonight (Ooh)
[02:46.41] Plungin' into all kinds of diversions
[02:50.96] Like blush wine and sonorous soirées
[02:56.01] But even with gin and surgin' adrenaline
[03:00.82] I see you're all that can intoxicate
[03:05.87] Oceans and engines, you're skilled at infringin'
[03:10.97] On great love affairs
[03:16.01] 'Cause now my heart's home, all I've known is long gone
[03:21.11] And ten thousand miles away
[03:25.63] And I'm not okay
[03:30.46] But I'm lettin' go
[03:35.51] I'm givin' up the ghost
[03:40.56] But don't get me wrong
[03:44.01] I'll always love you, that's why I
[03:45.66] Wrote you this very last song
[03:50.44] I guess this is where we say goodbye
[04:00.28] I know I'll be alright
[04:04.85] But just not
[04:07.02] Tonight was the first time I stared into
[04:09.74] Seas of beguilin' sepia two years ago
[04:15.91] And the first time I
[04:17.30] Learned real world superpowers lived in three words
[04:20.76] They revitalized my frayin' bones, oh
[04:26.08] Now what do you do when your
[04:27.45] Pillar crumbled down, you've lost all solid ground
[04:29.90] Both dreams and demons drowned and this void's all you've found
[04:32.62] And doubts light it aglow?
[04:36.12] I have so many questions
[04:39.36] But I'm pourin' them into the ocean and I'm startin' up my engine
[04:46.04] And I'm lettin' go
[04:50.83] I'm givin' up your ghost
[04:55.87] It's come to a close
[04:59.65] I marked the end with this last song I wrote
[05:06.33] I'm lettin' go
[05:10.85] This is the last falsetto
[05:16.22] I'll ever sing to you, my great, lost love
