There are big boats stranded on the open fields
They are sailing the grass and wheat of the expanse of the sea
Leave them alone, don’t feel sorry for them, they are free
Of the things that haunt you and me

There are little girls who show you attitude
I pick my words carefully, don’t want to seem too rude
I don’t come from here, neither do you
I believe what I’m told, those stories all seem so true
-- Why does it always come back to me and you?

How do I say goodbye to you
How do I say goodbye
How oh how
Oh how when I don’t want to

Paint the walls fiery red,
they will match all the dreams trapped inside your head
Close your eyes and watch it drip and pour
The coolest black and blue instead
-- Forgive me, forgive you, now it’s all been said

How do I say goodbye to you
How do I say goodbye
How oh how
Oh how when I don’t want to

Oh watch it’s breaking
Oh watch it’s leaving
It only seems to escape you

How do I say goodbye to you
How do I say goodbye
How oh how
Oh how when I don’t want to
