lyrics

I sat outside today
Catching my face in sun
Watching my breath escape
Thinking of somewhere warm

I saw you yesterday
Now you are somewhere warm
You thought these distances
Were just a game to me

See you in 19 days
I heard you saying so
But all these short goodbyes
Aren't making sense themselves

I'm going to set things out
There's a sea change for me
I've known for 19 days
How things are going to be

So I have one request
Think of it as a game
The space from you to me

Now since I've thought it through
I've finally figured out
Where I would like to be
Where you will find me now

By the time you hear these notes
I will have packed and gone
I'm trailing river banks
And climbing mountain tops
And scraping desert sands
And sailing clear blue seas
No this is not goodbye
I'll see you soon sometime
