It's never easy to say goodbye 
To the faces 
So rarely do we see another one 
So close and so long 

I asked the room if I'd said enough 
No one really answered 
They just said, "Don't go, don't go" 
Well all this leaving is neverending 

I kept hoping for one more question 
Or for someone to say, 
"Who do you think you are?" 
So I could tell them 

With intensity, the drop evaporates by law 
In conclusion, leaving is easy 
When you've got some place you need to be 
I'm giving up this gig for another season 

Dm        D 
With the TV on mute 
I'm listening back to the tapes 
On the hotel bed 
My my my apocalypse 

C Eb      Em  Em7     Am  E11     D9  Dsus2 
I realized I had said very little about ways or wheels 
Or riding for the feeling 
Riding for the feeling 
Is the fastest way to reach the shore 

On water or land 
Riding for the feeling 

What if I had stood there at the end 
And said again and again and again and again and again 
An answer to every question 
Riding for the feeling 

Would that have been a suitable goodbye?
