Goodbye Forever, Maybe

I might disappear someday

Fall off the map, find a little hideaway

Inside a cave, and I will paint the walls all day

Make a mosaic of stains with feather brushes

And I'll take my time with it

Because I care about my craft

And they will find what's left of me

A thousand years after I've passed

Just art and bones

The only things that ever last

Just art and bones

The only things that ever last

So, goodbye forever, maybe

I might just take off and go

There's no need to look for me

'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go

Goodbye forever, maybe so

I might disappear sometime

Call in sick from work

And gather every single dime I've ever earned

And I will turn my back on life

Buy a little barkentine, make up the best crew I can find

We'll chase the sun

Because we don't like chasing trends

They'll call me captain

And I laughing love to call them all my men

And our adventures hardly ever seem to end

Our adventures hardly ever seem to end

So, goodbye forever, maybe

I might just take off and go

There's no need to look for me

'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go

Goodbye forever, maybe so

I might never leave this town

I might find a girl, and she might need to buy a gown

White picket fences, no expense is too much now

Since I've been working as a clerk

I've saved and put a payment down

We got the house, and 30 years of mortgages

We pay the bills, we watch TV

And we might have a couple kids

I'm scared of that

But what if that is all there is?

I'm scared of that

But what if that is all there is?

So, goodbye forever, maybe

I might just take off and go

There's no need to look for me

'Cause you'll never find out where I plan to go
