we'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
and in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out
what it was all about
We moved to the west coast
away from everyone
she never told me that you called
back when I was still
I was still in love
But I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumblin' down
and it's "bye bye, goodbye, I tried"
And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
I had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
so come pick me up
I've landed
The daily dramas
she made from nothing
So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me
And talk me back down
until I believed I was the crazy one
and in a way
I guess I was
until I opened my eyes and walked out the door
and the clouds came tumblin' down
and it's "bye bye, goodbye, I tried"
treading the sea of her troubled mind
I had to leave myself behind
singing "bye bye, goodbye, I tried"
if you wrote me off, I'd understand it
'cause I've been on some other planet
so come pick me up
I've landed
and you will be so happy to know
I've come alone
it's over
I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumblin' down
and it's "bye bye, goodbye, I tried"
down comes the reign of the telephone czar
and it's okay to call
and I will answer for myself
come pick me up
I've landed
