	Long distance last goodbye, never stop to reason why I looked at all disheveled, but you didn’t care I was working to save up my own train fare Things got rough and the heat was on The daily grind was making me feel, feel like a pawn Just needed to get out and breathe some fresh air Where I ended up I couldn’t even care Looked at me, familiar face But your old self was gone without a trace I’m packing your picture in an old suitcase If you get the change please ring me up today Because I’m leaving and my train is on its way How could I end what I didn’t mean to start No rhymes about the obvious, no cheesy line about a heart Like a little rascal who crashed his go-cart Wont go another mile to play a stupid part But I’ll sit by and receive messages on the telephone Crazy letters from crazy people feeling more than alone Don’t need to apologize for being nothing but myself I didn’t build that pedestal, didn’t hang that stupid shelf Looked at me with that old crooked smile But the you that I knew I haven’t seen in a while I’m putting your number in my vertical file Sometimes it seems we never get repaid But I’m leaving and my train is on its way Looked in the mirror, saw my own open eyes In the expression I realized my old self’s demise I’m headed in search of bright days, and blue skies In case you weren’t listening, got one thing left to say: I’m still looking out at the same old face But my old self is gone without a trace I’m leaving and I’m taking off today
