Bye Bye Lorraine

I'm giving up on giving in To the tides I feel within Out in the world just getting by Wondering how to savor time Harboring the emptiness Is like trying to hold your breath At some point the pressure floods And in a deluge you're overcome In my messiness I somehow found Some levity in breathing out Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine Out the door, heat like a wave 81 and it's only May It's so simple to just assume In the inevitable doom Strangers pass without a glance We've got no time to believe in chance Where every step is so cynical And each turn seems out of control But then a song comes on that makes me smile And I'm imagining a roaring crowd Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine Reach the edge of the city street The river lives in front of me Looking back on the path I took It's so easy to overlook Family, friends, spiritual wealth And the bravery to just be yourself Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine Oh oh oh Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine
