Remember this, given us

By someone's set of parents

I don't recall, I admit

I don't know just who's to blame

For relics of our history...

To tell the truth, it wasn't bad

We had to have a reason

And lack of love wasn't it

We both know we had a past

But present must contain

A future where both of us can fit

[Chorus:]

So long and sorry, darling

I was counting to forever

And never even got to ten

So long and sorry, darling

When we found a rip in heaven

We should have just ascended then

It's funny how you just assume

You're going to work it out

Or give it at least a try

But optimistic feelings can't be

Passed from hand to hand

You handle them they tend to die

[Chorus]

Well, better than if I just go away

Preserving the fiction of

Indifference now

Replacing love

[Chorus]

We should have just ascended then

We should have just ascended then
