In Loving Memory
Few and Far Between Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
watching you throw yourself to the windy city again, once again my friend
and i just have to let you go away again
i'm not so good at goodbyes, so we'll leave it at "see you soon"
i know that we can see this through
with decision taking hold, throwing a fork in the open road
you can't turn it away,
i'm not so good at goodbyes, so we'll leave it at "see you soon"
i know that we can see this through
it's a memory of the way we had it

Despite their difficulty in saying goodbye, the singer acknowledges that they must let their friend go, though they express faith in the strength of their friendship, believing that they can make it through this parting.
The chorus of the song reflects on the memories shared between the singer and their friend, the moments they've spent together and the connection they share.

Just to the edge of the lake I'm walking you back
As we walk towards the lake, I guide you towards the goodbye that awaits us
Watching you throw yourself to the windy city again, once again my friend
I observe you surrendering yourself to the city's chaotic grasp, leaving me behind once again as your friend
And I just have to let you go away again
I am forced to accept that you must depart yet again
I'm not so good at goodbyes, so we'll leave it at 'see you soon'
Saying farewell is not my forte, so we'll settle with 'see you soon'
I know that we can see this through
We both know we can endure whatever the future holds for us
With decision taking hold, throwing a fork in the open road
As we face the crossroad of decisions, uncertainty and doubt loom ahead
You can't turn it away
We cannot ignore the tough choices that await us
And I just have to let you go away again
I am still faced with the harsh reality of you having to leave again
I'm not so good at goodbyes, so we'll leave it at 'see you soon'
As before, we'll opt for 'see you soon' instead of emotionally draining goodbyes
I know that we can see this through
We both have confidence in our bond and our ability to overcome distance and time apart
It's a memory of the way we had it
What remains is a recollection of how we once were, a memento of the time when we were together.
