Yeah, yeah, whatever.

 Transit: Canton - Pour Toi: Your Sail, My Sail, Etc.

I just want to say goodbye
so I can feel alive again
It doesn’t matter if my ship is rusting
I just want to feel alive again

But the sky’s all grey
These clouds are brewing a storm
And the raindrops are piercing through my skin,
leaving marks of still burning love

I just want to say goodbye
so I can be alive again
Let go of the things that bind me to you—
the moorings, the anchors, that got caught up on you

But it’s hard for me
to lift just a foot away from you
And the farthest I have gone
is here, the place where you’ve left me off.

To retract is the only thing I can do right now,
it’s just hard to move.
I can see that your sail has already set
but I’m still here, stuck, fixing my ship

I just want to say goodbye
so I can be alive again
Let go of the things that bind me to you—
the moorings, the anchors, that got caught up on you.
My moorings, my anchors, that got caught up on you.
My moorings, my anchors, that you’ve finally set loose.

A couple of days after I asked Lee for a copy of this song, his song, I’ve decided to ask him if I could post it here. Well, for the sole reason of being polite because I didn’t want to just post a song of someone I know without letting them know or asking them if I could. But here, while I was asking him for a copy, he was telling me the story of how he wrote it and I was crying while he did. I was excited since I first heard it on @vpg’s Liyab and I was eager (but shy) to ask him. As soon as I got the song, it became my new favorite and it’s been that one song that I’ve played the most the past few days. Straight, played it on iTunes for about 50 times.

Though I’m not in the same situation as the song suggests, the sadness just hit me and I was in tears half of the times that I played it…
