Lyrics of Satellite Birdhouse – So Long

Ellie holds up some of her fingers, tells me her age
She’s your eldest, I’m ashamed I’m only just now learning her name
She has strong opinions on ponies and soda pop
Shows me a unicorn sticker she likes a lot
Her face is brand new but her smile is old
I’ve seen you wear it many times before

You know I’m really organized but even I lost track
We somehow misplaced fifteen years we’ll never get back
You say, “Hey Stace, do you know
Where did all this time even go?”

Between this goodbye and our next hello
I hope we count it in hours and days
Not in years gone by
Between this goodbye and our next hello
Farewell my friend, but not so long

We drifted apart like clouds gently do
Dancing around the same blue sky, me and you
But every now and then, you float by and
I get to see that smile again

Between this goodbye and our next hello
I hope we count it in hours and days
Not in years gone by
Between this goodbye and our next hello
Farewell my friend, but not so long

For you there will always be
Time for a cup of tea

Between this goodbye and our next hello
I hope we count it in hours and days
Not in years gone by
Between this goodbye and our next hello
Farewell my friend, but not so long
Farewell my friend, but not so long
