Goodbye Rochester

Seventeen years spent here,

Don't know how I lasted so long.

Was supposed to overcome some fears

Instead of letting 'em get the best of me.

Bouncing some orange ball

Like my life depended on it

Didn't bring any extra phone calls.

Pain wasn't supposed to get the best of me.

Goodbye Rochester,

I told you I didn't like roller coasters

But I thank you for putting me on this road

Goodbye Rocheste,

I didn't want people coming and going

But at least I'm better at cracking the code

What is love when you're young?

It's not just goodbye with a kiss.

Hearts on radio and a claimed song

Doesn't mean you've been hit by Cupid's arrow.

Never sniped perfect scores,

Didn't really fit in a group.

Wasn't uncommon to be ignored.

Funny who rang the doorbell, a brand new low.

Watching his breaths slow down

Allowed me to open the door

And not fear the dancing of a frown.

The chapter of a story was ending soon.

True growth never ceases.

Life is a maze don't forget,

Without edits and with all pieces.

It's ok if bad flashbacks come with color.
