Goodbye Leaves

I rearranged the bedroom
It was just getting to be a drag
The couch is in the big room
And the bed is in the back
I finally put up your poster
I knew youd be shocked
But I put everything else you ever gave me
In a 4 x 6 inch cardboard box

Yes, I was crying
Yes, I shed tears
They fell on every note you ever wrote
To me for one week shy of a year

Goodbye angels, goodbye leaves
Goodbye Memphis and rooftop dreams
How much longer must I grieve
Until Im stronger than the ends of my jacket sleeves

Found that tape you made me
You know the one Im talking about
Its you singing a cappella
Laughing and giggling throughout
I just let your voice destroy me
Took a breath and pressed rewind
Then I made sure that every word hurt
Because I knew this would be the last time

Yes, I was crying
Yes, I shed tears
One for every note you ever sung
To me that so much as blessed my ears

Goodbye angels, goodbye leaves
Goodbye Memphis and rooftop dreams
How much longer must I grieve
Until Im stronger than the ends of my jacket sleeves

Goodbye Privata, goodbye plans
Goodbye snowsuits and orange vans
Goodbye hiding and eyes that know it
Goodbye Pilsen and 3-year-old poets
Goodbye Landslide and noisy beds
Goodbye anger and heavy heads
Goodbye rooftops and IHOPS and beautiful dreads

Goodbye angels, goodbye leaves
Goodbye Memphis and rooftop dreams
How much longer must I grieve
Until Im stronger than the ends of my jacket sleeves
Goodbye Leaves
