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...
