Goodbye Suite

Saving up the afterglow
With all the pleasures I should know
The songs, I mean
The words, they're all for you
Tie me up in rubber bands
The drummer says the people stand
Alone, I mean
That one's just for you
I've got love in my hands
Holding onto your hands
Except for sympathy, there's nothing I can't understand
You get the silverware, and I'll get the alcohol
We'll leave it all in pieces if we just say hold on
You tell me you want me, you need me
(You get the motorbike, and)
You say you get alone in this place
(I'll get out the fire escape)
You do, hold on, because
(We'll leave them all in pieces if we just said)
I just said goodbye
I just said goodbye
I just said goodbye
Hate to be there when the oceans overflow
I just said goodbye
Hate to see when she gets drowned
I just said goodbye
I stand outside and watch some geyser waterfall
I just said goodbye
Let the curtain take my hand
I just said goodbye
Stay awake as long as you can
You might see what I mean
To fall asleep feels like drowning to this man
To feel your legs pull myself upstream
Still wondering what a waterfall
Could swallow up this whole world
I stand outside and watch from my backyard
And count to three, and say
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
