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

As I drive

How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes
And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying (keeping them)
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
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye
And I drive this ocean road
And remember
The small of your back, nape of your neck, I remember everything
as I drive
Waving this town goodbye

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 (stay with you in your...)
Pace with you a while
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long, so long

So long, so long
Taking my time, taking this drive, waving this town goodbye
So long, so long
So long, so long
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 certain 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...
So long, so long...
