[Verse 1]
And we had so many plans
Leap from the sill, see where we land
We had so many plans
Safe from the wind, head in the sand
[Verse 2]
And we had so many friends
This had to end, it had to end
And we had so many friends
Maybe we'll see them again
[Chorus]
We said so long, we sat alone
We sat along
We said it all, we said it low
We said it all
[Verse 3]
We had so many plans
This had to end, this had to end
We had so many friends
This had to end, this had to end
[Chorus]
We said so long, we sat alone
We sat along
We said it all, we said it low
We said it all
