say goodbye

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

Oh why, oh why
Do I even try?

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 sid?
Know you need to go to sleep
There s comfort knowing that at least
you can ?scape 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

Oh why, oh why
(Oh why, oh why)
Do I even try?
Every other girl
We d just cut the line

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

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
