[Intro] (distorted riff, glitching in and out) (yeah) (full band hits, glitch on "hits") [Verse 1] Stacy was walking with honors Caps in the air for the summer He was boozin', abusin', that backseat thunder Then the last words he heard Cut clean like a blade through the armor "You’re gonna be a father" Then he wrapped that car round a cornered tree harder God damn, he was having a daughter (Fade to black on "daughter") [Chorus] So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (glitch on "on") So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (so lo-o-ong) (yeah) [Verse 2] Female: Sandy never made the grade Heart full of fire, but the marks never stayed Every red pen felt like a scar on her name Heard "not enough" till it carved through her frame Male rap: Tommy never made the place, they erased him Lost every single thing he chased, couldn't face it She packed every piece of their life in a case then Threw it in his face, every memory, the basement Both (rap duet): Bills on the table, faith on E Dreams on the dash, tank on empty Told "man up" while he fell through the floor Now he’s knockin' on a locked up door (door-door) (glitch on "door") [Chorus] So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (so long) So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (so lo-o-ong) (oh-oh) [Bridge] (instrumental guitar and synth solo, vocal chops) (yeah, yeah, yeah) (voices glitching on "yeah") [Verse 3] The moral of the story goes Things happen, you never know When the sky turns fast from a blue to a low So try your best To plant roots where the wild winds blow To hold your love when it’s time to let go So if the night feels heavy and slow You still rise up With a heart that has something to show (show-show) (glitch on "show") [Chorus] So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (we move on) So long (so long) After you're gone (gone) Life moves on, so long (so lo-o-ong) (we move on, we move on) [Outro] (soft female vocal over fading synths) So long (so long) Life moves on (glitch, then fade) (final hit)
