So Long - Jenny Owen Youngs

So the house is wired from floor to attic

You can’t get in or out

And your first response is automatic

But no one hears you shout

Hoping against a hope that’s rail thin

All that you know for now, you’ll be waiting

So long

So you walk the path through the sea of sleepers

And keep your eyes ahead

Cause you know that light is finders keepers

But what you found instead

Is no one was made for this, to be lonely

Keep it against your chest, this is only

So long

No one can put you back how you were then

Chemicals must react, it’s a certain

So long
