The song is optimistic in the way it treats separation as a very positive step.
Lyrics
You’re like a sound (You’re like a sound)
I don’t want to hear in the daytime.
Neither lost nor found
You sit exhausted in your prime.
Leave me now and forget
You had me.
Leave me now and forget…
I see a clown (I see a clown)
Unable to make anyone smile.
Your bitter frowns (All those frowns)
Are hardly worth anyone’s while.
Leave me now and forget
You had me.
Leave me now and forget,
And if you see me upset,
You’re making believe.
Keep this in mind, keep this in mind,
Keep this in mind:
You always have to put up with something:
Sunrise, long rides.
You always have to put up with something:
Small size, green eyes.
Keep this in mind, keep this in mind,
Keep this in mind:
You always have to put up with something:
Sunrise, long rides.
You always have to put up with something:
Small size, green eyes.
Leave me now and forget you had me.
Leave me now and forget,
And if you see me upset,
You’re making believe,
You’re making be-
Leave me now and forget you had me.
Leave me now and forget,
And if you see me upset,
You’re making believe.
You’re making believe.
