Never Say Goodbye Lyrics
As I sit in this smokey room
The night about to end
I pass my time with strangers
But this bottle's my only friend
Remember when we used to park
On Butler Street out in the dark
Remember when we lost the keys
And you lost more than that in my backseat
Remember when we used to talk
About busting out - we'd break their hearts
Together - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
Remember days of skipping school
Racing cars and being cool
With a six pack and the radio
We didn't need no place to go
Remember at the prom that night
You and me we had a fight
But the band they played our favorite song
And I held you in my arms so strong
We danced so close
We danced so slow
And I swore I'd never let you go
Together - forever
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
You and me and my old friends
Hoping it would never end
Never say goodbye, never say goodbye
Holdin' on - we got to try
Holdin' on to never say goodbye
I guess you'd say we used to talk
About busting out
We'd break their hearts
Together - forever
This is really great song, in my opinion. it's about wanting the best times to never go away- trying to keep those times from leaving or changing. It's basically a song about memories- romantic ones! Bon Jovi rocks!!
I agree that this song is about memories. Memories of being with your highschool sweet heart. This song has a special meaning to me because my girlfriend told me never to say goodbye because goodbye is forever. But goodbye has to come sometime for alot of sentimental things. I think thats what bon jovi was trying to get across with this song.
This song reminds me alot of my relationship with my Boyfriend. Me an' Him are always remebering the past like the day we first met and the day we first slept together. This song does it for me and him. it's our song. One of the best Jovi songs i've ever Heard.
THis is about a high school sweetheart. How when your going out you know your going your seperate ways after graduation but somehow your never going to say goodbye. I remember the girl I dated in high school and the summer after and how we were going to write and keep in touch. I wonder what ever happened to her.
I love this song. I'm hopelessly nostalgic. While this tune invokes fond memories of days gone by, it's sad for the same reason. It's about trying to hang on. Trying to make the moments last forever. But nothing lasts forever. Even cold November rain.
Yeah i agree guys this is a great song but also makes me feel bad at the same time. I believe its about how good times are great but no matter how hard you try you can't make them last forever......but forever isn't that long anyway.
great song,and though im still in high school,i see the meaning and oddly feel it.These types of songs bring out the worst in me usually,as i always see in my head,the things i wish were true and happening in reality.
This song is great. It's about not wanting to let go of moments...looking into the past and wishing you could relive those moments...ahhhhh!
i love this song, my name comes from a Bon Jovi song. i love the message of the song. i just have one comment though, does the chords of this song remind anyone else of the song that goes "all by myself...don't want to be, all by myself anymore.."?
Haha, put the line 'remember when we lost the keys/and you lost more than that in my backseat' on a cover you make for your binder and just wait for the reactions. I had that written on my world history notebook last year and people still ask me about it. "OMFGZ IZ THAT LYKE A REEL SONG?! R U 4 REEL!? I AM GUNA GO DLZ IT TONITE TO SEE!" Psh. At least its spreading the Jovi word ;-)
