[Intro: train ambience, acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] Every morning starts with choosing Every choice excludes a road Breakfast here means missing someone Rest means setting down the load Dinner with one person Means another waits at home Every yes contains a tiny no No matter where I roam [Chorus] A THOUSAND GOODBYES EVERY DAY NONE OF THEM FOREVER Every life we choose to enter Means leaving some together I hate the doors that close behind me Even knowing they’ll reopen soon There are only so many places One heart can be by noon [Bridge] Maybe loving many people Means becoming good at leaving Not disappearing Not abandoning Just trusting in returning [Final Chorus] A THOUSAND GOODBYES EVERY DAY AND A THOUSAND HELLOS TOO Maybe absence isn’t ending Maybe distance can be true [Outro] See you later is still a kind of love.
