Farewell To The Old Me Lyrics

How can I ask love to hold the mystery 

When just look at me 

It's
all push and pull collateral 

I don't want to be the one who gets the
next surprise 

I'll plan it out this time 

Though I used to think
that things were meant to be 



So farewell to the old me 

Farewell to the old me 

My life is working better now 

It's
always changing anyhow 



I danced a lot of nights until the grass
was wet 

It wasn't over yet 

'Round 'bout 3 a.m. you made a friend


And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts 

Because it's where
the meaning was 

And I tried to find it every other way 



So
farewell to the old me 

Farewell to the old me 

My life is getting
better now 

But always changing anyhow 



But I can turn on
the charm 

Show them nothing more 

Than what I've done before 

It's nothing much new 

But it'll do 

'Cause I don't wanna be the
one who makes you laugh out loud 

I wanna make you proud 

And you
always said you knew what I could be 



So farewell to the old me


Farewell to the old me 

Farewell to the old me 

My life is
working better now 

But always changing anyhow 

Time 

And the
old me 

Farewell to the old me 

Farewell...
