lyrics

We will never
Sit around this table again
I will never twist my head
To make a mental panorama of your faces again
The logistics of a reunion on this scale would be truly baffling
And in not too long some of us will have real jobs or families

The night that you were leaving we sat in the basement where we first met
And I confessed to you how often I'd dreamed about
If the situation had been slightly different
And I am happy with how things turned out now
But there will always be "what if's"
But I will brush them aside, to the back of my mind
Cuz' they could not be more perfect then this

And you told that there was no sense in obsessing over hypotheticals
Drowning myself in the infinity of the things that are technically possible
I try and recall the conversation but I have lost so many details

Isn't it tragic?
That we will be leaving one by one
Boarding airplanes flying to the separate
Continents that we came from
And won't I be miserable?
When I do not see your face
After I drag myself out of bed in the morning or afternoon
Either way, much too late

And he told me, "don't get sappy now dry your eyes
and brace yourself for a long month of difficult goodbyes"
It's easier if we tell ourselves "see you around"
And "I got the worlds greatest pull out couch if you ever find yourself in town"

All good things come to and end, I suppose
But that never really adequately prepares you
Now I'm back at my childhood summer camp
And its the closing ceremony
It was our annual ritual to make best friends
And then sob with them uncontrollably

We get so close
Just to pull ourselves away
