Goodnight and Go Lyrics
Does anyone else get a stalking vibe from this song?
"Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining And you think your alone..."
She follows him home, watches him take his clothes off and relax watching TV through the open curtains. She knows his routine, like she does this on a regular basis. And he thinks he's alone. Just just what I got from it. Great song, even if it is about a stalker.
Yeah bmp0f5, there's definitely a stalker undertone, although it's presented in such a bouncy, innocent way you could almost excuse it as a post-adolescent infatuation. I know I wouldn't mind being stalked by Immi.

Yeah, that's actually the first thing I thought when I read the lyrics. I think your idea is further supported by the lyrics

"One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me. We'll have drinks, and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you. You'll sleep here, I'll sleep there, But then the heating may be down again, At my convenience. "

Like she's got it all (creepily) planned out...

This is what I think it means, due to the fact I relate it to it. I think it's about a girl who likes a guy but the guy is in a commited relationship, and even though she tries to stay away she can't help but to go to him more and more which it's why it's bad they get along so well. That's why I think when she says "Say goodnight and go" he says goodnight to her and goes to his girlfriend. That's just what I think...because that's the situation I'm in.
@Zephie I was thinking that it was about the girl having a boyfriend, but she's falling for another boy and she knows that's wrong, but she can't help it. I dunno, I think yours is probably more accurate.

I just played this song for a girl I've recently started talking to just because she seemed like the Imogen Heap liking type. At the exact moment I made her listen to it I realized why the song seemed to be a little "cooler" than it normally is, y'know?Like its narrating the tension and the thoughts between us.
Which is bullshit, and I am depressed now because of it.
Why d'ya have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you Must you make me laugh so much It's bad enough we get along so well Say goodnight and go
^^ i love that part.. its like everyone thinks of that one specail person when she sings it.. everyone can relate =D
This song is really sweet. I cant wait to fall in love!!! The lyrics paint such a beautiful picture of love that I can manage to feel what the artist feels when I hear this song and when I sing it!
hmm... What do I think about this song? ... one word comes to mind. Crazy? Agree? ... absolutely not romantic or cute. "You'll sleep here, I'll sleep there, But then the heating may be down again, At my convenience. (creepy voice) We'd be good, we'd be great together." Earlier on in the song, Miss. Heap states that she is starring through a window. This is called a peeping Tom, and is quite illegal. "Got lucky, beautiful shot; you're taking everything off, watch the curtains wide open... And you think you're alone..." Ya, this is definetely a healthy, romantic relationship.
This chorus is so simple but rings truer than 99% of the songs out there. Its so great because ppl can relate so well to the ideas/feeling being conveyed. The music/harmony + lyrics just paint such a vivid picture. I think its about being blindsided by your feelings for someone who, for whatever reason, is unattainable. I know im not alone if feeling it matches my situation perfectly.I have fallen so hard for a good friend of mine, but she is dating another friend. Everything about her is intoxicating, I can't help but smile every time she talks to me. We are so similar and get along effortlessly, but at the end of the day its not my place to tell her.....(for now):)
So many people totally missed the mark, just thinking "it's such a cute song" and I think that they totally underestimate the clever way this song was done. It's a sort of love song, but, as many have pointed out, it grows progressively more into an unhealthy obsession. I don't think she was trying to make any big statement, but it's just her having a little fun. I know this song makes me laugh when I think about it.
I agree with everything that's been said about this being a stalker situation.
There seems to be a push-pull theme in a few of her songs when it comes to attraction (for example, also in The Walk). She likes this guy, but at the same time she really doesn't want to. She says "it's bad enough we get along so well." And "say goodnight and go" sounds like it could mean that's what they always do, say goodnight and go their separate ways, OR she's asking him to say goodnight and go because she really doesn't want to like him as much as she does and she wants him to go away..
It's almost like she prefers the day-dream version of him to the real him. And maybe she prefers to stalk him outside his window because it keeps him comfortably at arms' length...she doesn't really want a real relationship with the real person maybe...
Cute song. Heard it on the OC. when someone just gets you....every time
