How can I ask love to hold the mystery 
When just look at me 
It's all push and pull collateral 
I don't want to be the one who gets the next surprise 
I'll plan it out this time 
Though I used to think that things were meant to be 

So farewell to the old me 
Farewell to the old me 
My life is working better now 
It's always changing anyhow 

I danced a lot of nights until the grass was wet 
It wasn't over yet 
'Round 'bout 3 a.m. you made a friend 
And I followed a lot of vital crazy thoughts 
Because it's where the meaning was 
And I tried to find it every other way 

So farewell to the old me 
Farewell to the old me 
My life is getting better now 
But always changing anyhow 

But I can turn on the charm 
Show them nothing more 
Than what I've done before 
It's nothing much new 
But it'll do 
'Cause I don't wanna be the one who makes you laugh out loud 
I wanna make you proud 
And you always said you knew what I could be 

So farewell to the old me 
Farewell to the old me 
Farewell to the old me 
My life is working better now 
But always changing anyhow 
Time 
And the old me 
Farewell to the old me 
Farewell...
