"Sweetest Goodbye"


No matter how many times we’ve done this, and we’ve done it so many times;
It never does get easier when its time to say goodbye.
And I’ll wear your memory underneath my shirt like an Indian tattoo.
Crushed by conscience and mental slide show and a dream of kissing you.

This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we’re going to sleep all day just you and I.
And if you never left you’d never know why, you need to go in the first place and I picture your sweet face, picture your sweet face, picture your sweet… Sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye.

Now there’s two of you that I find myself saying goodbye to and at night there’s three of us in my head before I fall asleep. And I know we need the money, though I hope it doesn’t show. Because whatever I got coming comes to me when we’re alone.

This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we’re going to sleep all day just you and I.
And if you never left you’d never know why, you need to go in the first place and I picture your sweet face, picture your sweet face, picture your sweet… Sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye.

Every second of every minute of every hour of every day I’m thinking of the things that I can say to make you miss me when I go away. (The sweetest goodbye).

This is sweetest goodbye when I get home, we’re going to sleep all day just you and I.
And if you never left you’d never know why…. The sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye. The sweetest goodbye.
