Saying Goodbye Lyrics
I watched the sun come up over
The Chicago skyline
Drove through a whole night
Just to make it right
The last thing I remember
You were begging me not to go
You had that look of sadness on your face
That only I would know
I thought a lot about the summers passed
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
I thought I forgot my past
But that all changed today
(That all changed today)
I know it was wrong of me to try to throw this all away
(Throw this all away)
So if you give it just one more try
I'll give you everything you need
She said, "Just tell me what changed your mind
What brought you back to me?"
And I said
I thought a lot about the summers passed
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
We always thought that those days would last
We felt so high
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
(Like it was the last time)
Another month that's faded away
Minutes feel like hours, hours like days
"When will I see you again?"
She said, she said
I thought a lot about the summers passed
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
We always thought that those days would last
We felt so high
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
(Like it was the last time)
The Chicago skyline
Drove through a whole night
Just to make it right
You were begging me not to go
You had that look of sadness on your face
That only I would know
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
But that all changed today
(That all changed today)
I know it was wrong of me to try to throw this all away
(Throw this all away)
I'll give you everything you need
She said, "Just tell me what changed your mind
What brought you back to me?"
And I said
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
We always thought that those days would last
We felt so high
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
(Like it was the last time)
Minutes feel like hours, hours like days
"When will I see you again?"
She said, she said
Your hair in your eyes
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
We always thought that those days would last
We felt so high
And how we spent the whole night
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
Like it was the last time
(Like it was the last time)

Really unsure about these lyrics, wrote them down by ear. Please, help?
It looks fine to me.
I'm shocked there aren't any comments, this song along with Tell Me I'm A Wreck are my two favorite from Picture Perfect. The meaning's kinda tricky if you ask me. A guy let a girl go, and he came back remembering the good times...but it loses me at "Another month that's faded away / Minutes feel like hours, hours like days / 'When will I see you again?' / She said, she said" I get confused right there.
Still, some of Ev Ave's best work. They can't read me, but keep this up, guys! <3
First off, this song rocks. Second, I think that that your meaning is pretty solid. A guy and a girl break up, then the guy realizes that it was a huge mistake and they should be together still. So, he comes back. The girl takes him back, but after that I think the meaning gets a little hazy... I think the guy leaves again, but I'm not sure why. "Minutes feel like hours, hours like days" might mean that he got tired of the relationship? What I prefer to believe is that he had to leave, not that he wanted to,...

So the girl asks when she'll see him again, and I think that the guy is hoping to be able to return but doesn't know when/if that will be possible... Just throwing that out there... Thoughts?
I just recently listened to this song for the first time and I absolutely love it! I looked it up on here to read the words and see what other people thought and I was surprised by the very few comments! Maybe the part where it says "another month thats faded away, minutes feel like hours, hours like days 'when will i see you again?' she said, she said" means that he broke up with her or had to leave her and she still has feelings for him and thinks about him, wondering when she will ever see her 'love' again.....

I don't know maybe thats not it but thats what I thought when I first heard it.
I think that this song is about a summer fling. He must have gone on a holiday with his family during the summer and then had to leave. "Another month that's faded away Minutes feel like hours, hours like days "When will I see you again?" " I think what that means is he still wants to see her again and be with her and it feels like they've been apart for a long time. "She said, she said
I thought a lot about the summers passed Your hair in your eyes And how we spent the whole night Saying goodbye, saying goodbye We always thought that those days would last We felt so high And how we spent the whole night Saying goodbye, saying goodbye Saying goodbye, saying goodbye Like it was the last time (Like it was the last time)" I think that means she wants to see him as well. I'm not sure if that's the real meaning, just what I think it's about.
