Say Goodnight, Sleep Alone Lyrics

And on the way home
Back from Bigrow
You got to know me
And I listened to you sing
I didn't know the words
But the melody was clear
Your voice ringing on
Drawing me near

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder where they're heading to tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

You ask me questions like
Whats your middle name
Or would you like to guess
It starts with a J
And who's your favorite band
And favorite song they play
And where did you grow up
And why didn't you stay?

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder where they're coming from tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder who they're leaving home tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

Cos no one's waiting for me here at home
Cos no one's waiting for me here at home

Let Your Guard Down

And on the way home
Back from Bigrow
You got to know me
And I listened to you sing
I didn't know the words
But the melody was clear
Your voice ringing on
Drawing me near

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder where they're heading to tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

You ask me questions like
Whats your middle name
Or would you like to guess
It starts with a J
And who's your favorite band
And favorite song they play
And where did you grow up
And why didn't you stay?

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder where they're coming from tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

So I'll look out the window at the cars passing by
And wonder who they're leaving home tonight
And you keep driving and let me know when we are close to home
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone
So I can say goodnight and sleep alone

Cos no one's waiting for me here at home
Cos no one's waiting for me here at home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
