The song is a slow ballad about saying farewell for the last time. While it is written from the perspective of a guy saying good bye to his lady after a volatile relationship, it also hints that the end of his life may be near.

Lyrics

SO LONG
Mark Patterson © 2024

Let me tell you a secret
I've been around the wheel a few times
Always did my damnedest
To see the reason and the rhyme
And while our story's still unfolding
The conclusion is forgone
So in case I don't see you
Think of this as so long

There's a town in Argentina we escape to
In the remake of our tale
Where we learn to dance the Tango
And we're not so inclined to fail
Where there's a whole lot more at stake than
What's right and who's wrong
But no one's handing out second chances
So think of this as so long

As bad as we ended
You still remind me of all that's good
I tried to find you in Rosario
But I never could
Bad poetry I would pen for you
And all those sorrowful songs
They're for someone else to write now
Think of this as so long

There's a town in Argentina we escape to
In the remake of our tale
Where we learn to dance the Tango
And we're not so inclined to fail
Where there's a whole lot more at stake than
What's right and who's wrong
But no one's handing out second chances
So think of this as so long
Looks like I'm out of second chances
So think of this as so long
So long
So long
So long
