156 (HtWIWM version) Lyrics
From my boat, I can see your house
and when the lights are on,
I can watch you move
Hear the wind whispering your name
Twice the encouragement
of the real you
Time to burn
Callie, if you really want me to
I can always get you down
if you got the money for me
Callie, in the summer rain
you will be kept dry you see
If you get the money for me
You can run away
leave your books behind you
but you should look back twice
just to be on the safe side
From my boat, I can see your house
but now the lights are off,
and there is no one home
You are just like an avalanche
Cold, as I might have guessed,
but at least I am covered up for now
In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
but I'm still distant
Don't you just love goodbyes?
Time to burn
Callie, let us get it over with
I can always get you down
if you got the money for me
I won't care for you
like I'm really supposed to
there are things I'll do
that could really hurt you
One-Five-Six
Don't you just love goodbyes?
(Go)
One-Five-Six
Don't you just love goodbyes?
and when the lights are on,
I can watch you move
Hear the wind whispering your name
Twice the encouragement
of the real you
I can always get you down
if you got the money for me
Callie, in the summer rain
you will be kept dry you see
If you get the money for me
leave your books behind you
but you should look back twice
just to be on the safe side
but now the lights are off,
and there is no one home
You are just like an avalanche
Cold, as I might have guessed,
but at least I am covered up for now
I am really small
I get off my feet
but I'm still distant
I can always get you down
if you got the money for me
like I'm really supposed to
there are things I'll do
that could really hurt you
Don't you just love goodbyes?
(Go)
One-Five-Six
Don't you just love goodbyes?

I know some people like this version better but I don't. The new version adds to the creepy aspect of this song and is just more put together. The part I do like is the line "Time to burn" and how you can hear the little voices saying things in the background more clearly.
I agree! I don't like this one more either, I like the other better. Although I like the "time to burn" line. That's awesome. The feeling is better constructed with the other version.
It's probably because I heard this version before the Frengers version, but I like this one better.
this song is about losing someone to drugs, I think, either physically by means of death or emotionally by detachment from a former relationship...
further proven by the "time to burn" in this version. of course it's only my interpretation but it holds strong for me.
