It was 1999 and the end of a century, but to me it was a huge transitional time in my life. I had just recently started over in many ways and needed to write a song about the shedding off of old skin and moving into new territory.
lyrics
Goodbye century. I never thought I’d see
All of these miserable choices I’ve made
Come rushing back to me
It’s a breakdown of the nerves, it’s a mirror in front of me
It’s a simple recollection of all of my time,
It’s my goodbye century
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further
Goodbye century, Goodbye calamity
It’s a push over the edge, it’s the other side
It’s my unbarred reverie
It’s a simpler way to go,
It’s a home where there was no home
It’s a million other choices in front of me,
My goodbye century
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further...........
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further than
Today, I will look no further, I will look no further
Its a mirror in front of me,
It’s a home where there was no home.
