Goodbye Weather

Well the past is never dead it’s only dying,
And it’s easy to imagine you’ll never stop crying, But the pain is the steps we
take toward healing, But sometimes we feel so much we’re not sure what we’re
feeling,
And then one day there’s an intimate stranger looking you in the eye,
And you’re not sure when this started or even why, But it’s the facts not the
reasons that turn the page, And emotional politics just grow more corrupt with
age.
When the slightest wind tosses your mood like it was a feather,
And you know in your soul what you won’t admit in your heart,
This is goodbye weather.
It’s been so many years of tangled memories and false confessions,
Trying to get somewhere in a series of infinite regressions,
You tell your friends things like; he’s lost and trying to recapture his youth,
We psychoanalyze the motives when we don’t want to face the truth,
Am I happy; well I’m sad to say; yes I am,
Though it’s not true I know you imagine that I don’t give a damn,
But I don’t have any regrets and I’m sorry but I never learned to hate the
enemy,
It would be as impossible for me to forget you as you to ever forgive me.
When you feel like all you’re doing is growing apart together,
And when confusion is the only thing you’re sure about,
You know this is goodbye weather.
I know sometimes I’m hard to find but I always gave you good clues,
But I know it’s so hard to play when you know you’re gonna lose,
Now the future is so anonymous; I hate to think of you lonely and scared,
I hope one day you can look back and be glad not sad about all we shared,
I only wish you well I always did; I always will,
It’s not all just thrown away I know it meant something but I know right now
that’s hard to feel, To hurt you hurt me more than anything I’ve ever done,
Yes you were one in a million but you just weren’t the one.
When your heart feels like your head and lace feels like leather,
And the rain is falling back up to the sky,
This is goodbye weather.
May you find the medicine of days.
