Remember this, given us
  By someone's set of parents
  I don't recall, i admit
  I don't know just who's to blame
  For relics of our history...
  
  To tell the truth, it wasn't bad
  We had to have a reason
  And lack of love wasn't it
  We both know we had a past
  But present must contain
  A future where both of us can fit
  
  chorus:
  
  So long and sorry, darling
  I was counting to forever
  And never even got to ten
  So long and sorry, darling
  When we found a rip in heaven
  We should have just ascended then
  
  It's funny how you just assume
  You're going to work it out
  Or give it at least a try
  But optimistic feelings can't be
  Passed from hand to hand
  You handle them they tend to die
  
  chorus:
  
  So long and sorry, darling
  I was counting to forever
  And never even got to ten
  So long and sorry, darling
  When we found a rip in heaven
  We should have just ascended then
  
  bridge:
  
  Well, better than if i just go away
  Preserving the fiction of
  Indifference now
  Replacing love
  
  instrumental:
  
  chorus:
  
  So long and sorry, darling
  I was counting to forever
  And never even got to ten
  So long and sorry, darling
  When we found a rip in heaven
  We should have just ascended then
  
  We should have just ascended then
  We should have just ascended then
