about

A song about saying goodbye to university and feeling anxious and apprehensive about the future. This track is also about saying goodbye to those who have tragically lost their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.

CW: grief, anxiety, loss.

lyrics

Running out of fuel to get what I want,
the future is so unclear
time to pack my books
and say goodbye
to the friends I'm leaving behind

Gotta be real, gotta be calm
gotta be fine, with what I choose
gotta make peace, peace with myself
'cause time, ain't going back.

It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye

Not so good at living in the now
the present is so unclear
pandemics, pain and grief form a cloud
trapped in our homes, trapped in our skins

Gotta be real, gotta be calm
gotta be fine, with what happens next
gotta make peace, peace with myself
'cause time, ain't going back.

It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye

Not so good with uncertainty
I relinquish all control
I'm not alone in this universe
I'm so lucky to have a home

It's time to clear out the memories, from my old closet
now that I'm free, from the lessons, I took for granted
I go home and dry my eyes, it's time to say goodbye
friends so close to my heart, it's time to say goodbye
bye ahhh to say goodbye bye ahhh
to say goodbye.
