I will pack the last few boxes
And I'll throw the rest away
Drain and flush the extra memories
They might taste like love but they won't save you
My head's down, texting past the landmarks
Won't pay them tribute like a slave
Adjust my shades to go unnoticed
Headphones blast and I'll forget to wave
Nostalgia's a big mistake
I miss you's another way down
Goodbye and I'll see you later
I miss you's another way down
In the parade of western values
Extended family's lost and won
I'll cherish the family that I made here
And every other chord I'll cut and run
Nostalgia's a big mistake
I miss you's another way down
Goodbye and I'll see you later
I miss you's another way down
Though head may rest on a pillow
My prayers are miles away
Say thy name is I don't believe you
The only other name I flash awake
One voice I hear
Can't just ignore the last five years
Can't close the trunk
I toss more overboard and plug my ears and then I slam it shut
Nostalgia's a big mistake
I miss you's another way down
Goodbye and I'll see you later
I miss you's another way down
