*** Verse 1
Remember this, given us
by someone's set of parents
I don't recall, I admit
I don't know just who's to blame
for relics of our history..
To tell the truth, it wasn't bad
we had to have a reason
and lack of love wasn't it
We both know we had a past
but present must contain
a future where both of us can fit.
*** Chorus:
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
and never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
when we found a rip in heaven
we should have just ascended then.
*** Verse 2:
It's funny how you just assume
you're going to work it out
or give it at least a try
but optimistic feelings can't be
passed from hand to hand
you handle them they tend to die.
*** Chorus:
So long and sorry, darling
I was counting to forever
and never even got to ten
So long and sorry, darling
when we found a rip in heaven
we should have just ascended then.
Well, better than if I just go away
preserving the fiction of
indifference now
replacing love.

we should have just ascended then
