"Say Goodbye" lyrics - FUTURE ISLANDS
After we say, "Goodnight"
I smoke another twenty cigarettes
Before I close my eyes
If I'm up past midnight
Might have a chance to say, "Good morning"
Right before I cut the light
When I wake up at dawn
I reach across the void, just hoping
We can share a moment's time
And then the evening's mine
And I can finally say, "I love you"
Right before I say, "Goodnight"
[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh why, oh why
Do I even try?
[Chorus:]
When I don't wanna say goodnight
And every day without you feels one closer to goodbye
I just need to make this world seem right
You just sleep tight till I'm on your side
Know you need to go to sleep
There's comfort knowing that at least you can escape this heat
I'll sit up and watch this world burn bright
I'll be alright
When you're on my time
They didn't change the date
That's another month to wait
Another month to try
To hold onto a lie
[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh why, oh why
(Oh why, oh why)
Do I even try?
Every other girl
We'd just cut the line
[Chorus:]
But I don't wanna say goodnight
Is every day without you feels one closer to goodbye?
I just need to make this world seem right
You can sleep tight till I'm on your side
When you finally go to sleep
There's comfort knowing that
At least you can escape this heat
I'll sit up and watch, this world's on fire
But I'll be alright
When you're on my time
[Outro:]
You're on my time
When you're on my time
When ou're on my time
You're on my time
You're on my time
You're on my time
You're on my time
Whoa, you're on my time
Whoa, you're on my time
Oh, you're on my time
I'll be alright
When you're on my time
