It's the first day of school, and I think I might quit
'Cause the things I've been seein' in here don't make sense
So I packed up my things, and I walked through the door
And I'm goin' somewhere else instead
So, I chopped down some trees, and I built a small house
And I just might be small enough to live in it
Then the rain came pourin' down, and it made some cool sounds
And they'll tell you what those sounds said
Said, "Hello" and "Goodbye"
"Do you feel alright with the days gone by?"
I'll never waste my time, I'll never say, "Goodbye"
(Yes, I will, but I won't say it tonight)
So I picked a new character, and I've just chose my shirt
And I'm going to the land of the two-letter words
On in up at or so, by if to of no it
It's a feeling we can't forget
Said, "Hello" and "Goodnight", "Do you feel alright?"
"Do you remember the days gone by?"
"Do you remember the way that we dreamed we could change our lives?"
"Do you feel like changing your mind?"
It's the first day of school, and I think I might quit
'Cause the things that I'm feelin' still don't make sense
And I've tried to explain, and it hurts to describe
So I'll sing this song instead
♪
Hello and goodbye
Do you think I'm dying?
Do you think I'm going somewhere else this time?
Do you remember the day we pretended to be every star in the sky?
♪
It's the first day of school, but I think I might quit
Gonna learn some new lessons I won't forget
Gonna write them all down, in the language of love
And I'll teach them to everyone
