Wish You Well by Good Riddance Lyrics

Can we stand remaining braced against the fixtures
Of a thousand vacant gestures meant to strengthen our resolve
And as the nights begin to replicate the lost adventure kissed by fate
And the empty rooms and corners cast their scorn at every turn

Nobody waits to hear an answer
No one has the time to spare

And now the minutes bleed to days time’s just a construct anyways
I’ve been a fool these winds grow colder every year
I just need a place where I can hide remind myself I really tried
So don’t be ashamed who’s truly happy anyway?

Like fools we dared to promise not to take our days for granted or to spend a night in vain
But the words we speak when we begin betray the walls now closing in
And the air becomes encumbered with the inevitable end

And we speak of different places

And now the minutes bleed to days time’s just a construct anyways
I’ve been a fool these winds grow colder every year
I just need a place where I can hide remind myself I really tried
So don’t be ashamed who’s truly happy anyway?
Our greatest lives yet to be lived
Your breath is like a song too soon to forgive
And I’m still hanging on to the photographs and words
You know I wish you well
And I got what I deserved
