You'll know I'm gone when it gets here
You'll get that ringing in your ear
You'll run through ribbons
Writing every detail down
You'll forget this all within a year
Don't dream of water or of snow
Don't dream of people you don't know
Some things are built to last
And after lasting leave
Practice saying H E L L O
No sweat girl, I checked we're still alive
Forever living
What's your hurry boy?
This place is null and void
Forever leaving
I'm giving up my speaking part
I got an incomplete in art
I raise the flaps, I unfold all the maps
I am putting postage on my heart
You'll know I'm gone when it gets here:
That space that makes the air so clear
You'll know it's me
That you'll no longer see
Practice saying "mind if I sit here?"
Logic says I was right to have left
Forever leaving
I'd say come with me
But you're so absentee
Forever out of here
