Dashboard Confessional - So Long, So Long

(feat. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows)

Hand out the window
Floatin’ on air
Just a flip of the wrist
I’d be wavin’ you goodbye

Drive past the lifeguard stand
Where I sit around waiting for you to remember
Well past the beach hotels
Where the girls are getting’ bronzed on their monogrammed towels

I drive this ocean road
And I remember

How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
Will stay with you in your steps,
Paced with you a while
So long, so long [x2]

The speaker in this door is blown
So nothing sounds quite right
And I drive this ocean road
And remember
The small of your back
And the nape of your neck
And the soft way you’d hold me in the night

I remember

How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying
And how the grace with which she walked into your life
Will stay with you in your steps,
Pace with you a while
So long, so long...

And I will leave under the cover
Of summer’s kiss upon the sky
Like the storm face of your lover
Just before she says goodbye
I was thinking that the season could be held between my arms
But just as summer’s hold is fleeting
I was here and now I’m gone
I’m gone...
