goodbye lover Songtext
von Philip Labes

We were driving back from the cabin, drove into some two story town
There were fairgrounds set up the evening with people from miles around

And we snuck in when the guards weren′t looking and played
We ate junk and took photos and lost all the games

We were a ferris wheel round and around
With beautiful views you can't get from the ground
But beautiful things always come to an end
Goodbye lover
Goodbye old friend

We watched a thousand hours of TV and too many comedy shows
We told a thousand terrible jokes and borrowed each other′s best clothes

Dead of the night you'd start shaking unable trying to breath
Working through trauma that I wasn't ready to see


We were a midnight panic attack
Where a beautiful pain lays you flat on your back
But beautiful pains always come to an end
Goodbye lover
Goodbye old friend

I don′t accept
The phone′s going to ring
Somehow we're going to go back
To sleeping in your bed
Bodies entangled
While I′m listening for your breath

Then came the night where I knelt just to cry in a corner, my palms on the floor
Then came the nights where we tried to sleep with the ghosts of who we were before

And some part of me wants to love you until I am gone
And some part of me is just tired and wants to move on

Soon we'll be figments, and pictures we took
The voicemails you left me, the unreturned books
And even the missing you will fade in the end
Goodbye lover
Goodbye (goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) lover
Goodbye old friend
