So Long Farewell I’m Gone lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young, I decided I was weird
Seemed all together but something was wrong
People disagreed but I couldn't hear it
I never met a man that could prove me wrong

[Chorus]
So I've been running for a thousand years
'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong
The voices followed, clipped the back of my heels
'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on
Yeah, I couldn't go on

[Verse 2]
Stick around long enough to outrun the fear
Time moves slow when you move so quick
Sneakers go, roads blown up in a big war
Thousand-year lines run deep in my cheek

[Chorus]
So I've been running for a thousand years
'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong
But the voices followed, clipped the back of my heels
'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on
Yeah, I couldn't go on
[Outro]
So long, farewell, farewell, I'm gone
So long, farewell, I'm gone
