Goodbye Forever Songtext
von ME REX

When all else fails like the daylight
And the sky hangs like a hot bruise
Roots are breaking through the pavement
Underneath you, ooh
These things are hard to pick up where you left them
Harder still to let lie where they fall
Most nights I hear noise, sometimes it′s your voice
If I'm lucky I hear nothing at all

That′s not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
Not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever


I love whatever planet you are anchored to
Whatever skeleton you hang from
I love all your little rituals
I love a little dedication
You've got all these killer instincts
I've got all my magic spells
And yet within the depths of empty rooms
Is where we spend ourselves

That′s not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever
Not what I meant
When I said goodbye forever

A building rises like an evil skeleton giant
And the sky can shine right through

And you go out to meet your failures
Wherever they may wait for you
But I know that your love will devastate them

Your love will terrify them
I know everybody quietly will learn to hate surprises
That′s alright, that's all fine

Nobody I know gets to be their best self all the time
So don′t go changing, don't go growing
Don′t go leaving us alone again
You'd say miles I can drag you out from the water
But nobody′s gonna help you swim


I see you becoming viscous, turning to liquid
Like all fluid things, we're drawn to the moon
With waters indifferent and distance across it
Like pillars of salt dissolve into you
This is the ring that you're gonna swing me
When I′m feeling overboard
Where the water is as smooth as a dance floor
