From the recording Freshman 61
I love the quirky blues tone of this track. It's a bit playful, a bit tongue in cheek, and a lot of fun to write. Came to me after a friend stood me up after we had arranged a bit of a catch up. Not that I am no longer friends with this person (things happen).
However, it put me in a bit of a thought bubble about times when we find that someone we thought was a friend was simply ghosting, catfishing and using us for their own purposes. Not that it ever happens, right?
So this song is about that lightbulb moment where you realise that hey - this is not healthy, and you decide to dust off your feet, pack your emotional bags and simply say goodbye. So long. See ya later. Much, much, much later.
Lyrics
I thought that we were friends
Well what a fool was I
It turns out everything you said
Was nothing but a lie
So I wipe my feet and close the door
I’m not quite the person that I was before
It’s adios
Goodbye my friend
What never really started
Has come to an end
I’ll say so long
I’m saying so long
So long
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
It’s goodbye
You broke my heart
You betrayed my trust
It’s all about me
It’s no longer us
So I wipe my feet and I shut the door
I’m not quite the person that I was before
It’s adios
Goodbye my friend
What never really started
Has come to an end
I’ll say so long
I’m saying so long
So long
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
It’s goodbye
I’m moving on
Leaving you behind
I’ve seen the light
I’m no longer blind
So I wipe my feet and I’m slamming the door
I’m not quite the person that I was before
It’s adios
Goodbye my friend
What never really started
Has come to an end
I’ll say so long
I’m saying so long
So long
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Much much much later
So long see ya later
Goodbye
It’s got to end
So long see ya later
Dusting off my feet
Much much much much later
Closing the door
So long see ya later
Adios
Much much much much later
Sayonara
So long see ya later
Don’t call me
Much much much much later
Maybe I’ll call ya
So long see ya later
Yeah nah
It’s goodbye
