[ Is She Saying, “Hello” When We Should Be Saying, “Goodbye?” ]
[ She Might Be Wondering, “Why?” ]
[ Well, You Don’t Really Want To Lie ]
[ Because She Has Had That Done To Her Many Times Before ]
[ Maybe That Is Why You Have Felt The Last Couple Of Years ]
[ Her Mind Has Had One Of Her Feet ½ Way Out The Door ]
[ Is That Where She Likes To Start? ]
[ Or Depart? ]
[ You Wish That You Could Have Heard What Was Wrong ]
[ In The Last Song ]
[ But There Was A Word ]
[ That You Have Not Heard ]
[ In Years ]
[ Because The Meaning ]
[ Really Pierced Your Ears ]
[ Leaving Your Inner Voice Screaming ]
[ For The Truth ]
[ You First Heard It In The Chinese Restaurant ]
[ When You Both Were Sitting In A Booth ]
[ But You Don’t Really Know ]
[ How Many Years Ago ]
[ That She Had Said Such Things To You ]
[ That Was Back In The Days ]
[ When The Sky Was Always Crystal Blue ]
[ Like The Ocean Waves ]
[ Are @ The Beach ]
[ Where You Used To Walk Hand-in-Hand ]
[ When All Of Your Dreams Were In Reach ]
[ Back Then, In The Sand ]
[ But Now All Of Those Dreams Are Like Your Footprints Being Washed Away ]
[ Because In The Bigger Scheme Of Things ]
[ Dreams & Footprints In The Sand Were Never Meant To Stay ]
