You threw your coal mine canary down the wishing well Hoping he would return with a tale to tell
But you know it isn't true
He's never coming back to you
But you won't know unless you let go
How do you get from a coal mine back to a wishing well How do you get a moment passing through time to stand still
So take me back to tire swings and times when time stood still When I asked you if you loved me and you said you always will But I know there is no way
That you and I could ever stay
But you won't survive if you don't learn to say goodbye
How do you get from a coal mine back to a wishing well How do you get a moment passing through time to stand still In this world of constant change
Some things have the nerve to stay the same
