I’m not certain why, but lately this song is really resonating with me. Usually when a song speaks to me I know the reason right away. But this is elusive. Sometimes it’s just out of my grasp. So I listen. Then I listen again. But I still don’t really have any clear notion of what I’m hearing. Or what it’s saying to me. But I like it … a lot.
You get to feel so guilty, got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won’t go away
You’re holding on to every little thing so tightly
‘Til there’s nothing left for you anyway
Goodbye…
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change your name, well that’s okay, it’s necessary
And what you leave behind you don’t miss anyway
Goodbye…
You can keep this suit of lights
I’ll be up with the sun
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
‘Cause I’m already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn’t want it that much anyway
You’re taking steps that make you feel dizzy / (Gone)
Then you learn to like the way it feels / (Gone)
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover / (Gone)
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom just was greed / (Gone)
Goodbye…
And it’s emotional
Good night…
I’ll be up with the sun
You’re still holding on
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
I’m not coming down
Gone… sun… time… sun…
Gone… sun…. gone… sun…
