Farewell, William Lyrics by Gabe Kanae

Identity Fusion

2024

[Verse 1]
Holding hands as we pace throughout the town
Trying not to express any frowns
'Cause we know that this will be the last time
That I get to be your never-ending lover
We had a dinner, only focused on the ticking clock
Tried to deplore it but we only underscored it
I know what you're doing, you're trying to brace yourself for
The moment you have to leave out the door
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Continuation, the boy on the floor
Wanting back his lover in nineteen eighty four
Empty privilege, something he can't ignore
An emotional prisoner of war
[Chorus]
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your boyfriend on William Street
On his walk home, he felt his heartbeat
And on his bed after, he shrunk in the white sheets
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your best friend on William Street
Was it concrete when you sat on the taxi car seat
When you got to your new suite, did you feel self-conceit
[Verse 2]
Six months gone and the diner has closed down
Three weeks since we talked, two lines were exchanged
Recently, you're all I’ve yearned for and my new best friend is the liquor store
I’ve been spending my nights thinking back to that seven-month war
I know I cannot anymore
I’m exhausted listening to cinema scores wondering if you also feel unaccounted for
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Continuation, the boy on the floor
Wanting back his lover in nineteen eighty four
Empty privilege, something he can't ignore
An emotional prisoner of war
[Chorus]
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your boyfriend on William Street
On his walk home, he felt his heartbeat
And on his bed after, he shrunk in the white sheets
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your best friend on William Street
Was it concrete when you sat on the taxi car seat
When you got to your new suite, did you feel self-conceit
[Bridge]
Y2K was coming, the world was ending and you still never called
By some luck, there was a new year
Another for me to sit around and see
Never changed my number, in case you needed me
Will you even think about me if you're in need
Where are you, what are you doing
Are you still alive, my love for you is thriving
[Chorus]
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your boyfriend on William Street
On his walk home, he felt his heartbeat
And on his bed after, he shrunk in the white sheets
Bittersweet ending that was incomplete
You left behind your best friend on William Street
Was it concrete when you sat on the taxi car seat
When you got to your new suite, did you feel self-conceit
