A Short Goodbye to No One in Particular lyrics
by Eric Anderson
To me the scene of that f*cked up car accident
To you a place where you take lessons on guitar
And in the house on Halloween
That would never answer their door bell
I see a young buck reading comics in the dark
Walk by most certainly a stranger on the street
And don't they look like someone I would know?
I say a short goodbye to no one in particular
And then let go, let go, let go
Lay bare the stories I have annexed or embellished
Dissect each distressing realization in a church
Kick the door in of inexplicably terrifying houses
Wander through where my would-be girlfriends used to work
I could swear that that's a stranger on the street
But don't they look like someone I would know?
I'll say a short goodbye to no one in particular
And then let go, let go, let go
Lock eyes and nod at every stranger on the street
Damn, they look like someone I would know
I say a short goodbye to no one in particular
And then let go, let go, let go
