So Long
Singing Busts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not complicated but very hard to grasp
But every time I see you I laugh
I won't get too sappy, I've had no epiphany
I just enjoy your company

You test my nerves, it makes me stronger
So can you bother me a little bit longer?
Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend like you

Well, I could dot the I's and you could cross the T's
'Cause letters alone are lonely
Well, I could be the blossom and you could be the bee
And then I could call you honey

You test my nerves, it makes me stronger
So can you bother me a little bit longer?

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend like you

Some like to be alone, independent and on their own
All alone, I guess they're free but not me, not me

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend like you

Hate to say goodbye, goodbye
Hate to see the end, the end
'Cause it's been so long since I've made a friend like you

Yes, it's been so long since I've made a friend like you




Yes, it's been so long since I've made a friend like you
Yes, it's been so long since I've made a friend like you

Overall Meaning

In "So Long", Singing Busts express their joy about having a friend who challenges them and makes them grow. They appreciate the company of this friend and the way they test each other's nerves, reminding them that they are alive. They don't want to say goodbye and regret the end of the friendship because they haven't had one like this in a long time. The lyrics suggest that sometimes we need someone to push us out of our comfort zone, challenge our ideas, and make us feel alive.


The song begins with the singer admitting that what they feel is not complicated but still hard to grasp. It could be interpreted as a form of appreciation towards their friend that they cannot quite put into words. They enjoy their time together and don't want it to end. The chorus emphasizes this feeling of reluctance to move on and the regret of losing someone who has become an important part of their life.


The second verse employs a comparison between the letters and friendship to suggest that one is incomplete without the other. They need someone to interact with, to be the other half of the equation. Finally, the bridge highlights the importance of having a friend who challenges us and helps us grow. The song's main message could be boiled down to this: we all need friends who make us feel alive, push our limits, and remind us that we are not alone in this world.
