Goodbye

Can you hear me calling?
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes, left with no reply
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

Where did you go?
We used to be kids, now I feel so grown
I miss being free, to be me, not alone
I used to have friends, but we don't talk anymore
I guess that's on me, I got busy
I used to drink soda, now I switched to whiskey
I didn't want time to pass, but time is fast
I just wish you were more than memories

I got kids now, but I'm a kid now
I haven't grown in my mind, just my skin now
I don't get taxes, I hate chores
I hate mail, bills, and miss the outdoors
I feel like the air used to smell different
The grass was greener and the summers were for swimmin'
I used to play baseball every inning, now I work for a living

Can you hear me calling?
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes, left with no reply
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

I watch more podcasts and hear less music
My brain feels different, and I don't wanna lose it
I try to stay healthy, but I'm tired all the time
'Cause there's too much on my mind
Got into meditation, just try to be more patient
Find a passion, a purpose, a reason to keep chasing
All the dreams that I had when I was a little kid
Whatever happened to those dreams?
Man, they're something that I miss

Maybe, I should do this, I always love music
Maybe, I could find a way to make these dreams lucid
I really wanna try 'cause I might have a chance
Before I die to see the world with a soulmate by my side
Yeah, that would be the life, not a fucking nine-to-five
I wanna feel alive for a minute at a time
Let the kid out that's been stuck, captive on the inside
Who had dreams, big things were gonna come from his life

Can you hear me calling?
Am I wasting time?
I can hear the echoes, left with no reply
Can you hear me calling?
Left inside my mind
What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

Can you hear me calling?
