Not Ever Coming Home Lyrics
It was the shortest day of autumn
Until the moment that I caught on
That it hurts to be forgotten
I was so scared to try to kiss you
Now we were scared he'd finally missed you
But you're very fine, a bit used
But it's not fair
That your love should move so slow
Like the faintest starlight's glow
Which moves swiftly, oh I know
It's just got oh so far to go.
So I sent some letters to her
But they missed and went right through her
Though I couldn't find them truer.
And it's not fair
That your love should strike so weak
And our affections feel so meek
And our futures seem so bleak
And oh we've got so far to go
We're not ever coming home
Until the moment that I caught on
That it hurts to be forgotten
Now we were scared he'd finally missed you
But you're very fine, a bit used
That your love should move so slow
Like the faintest starlight's glow
Which moves swiftly, oh I know
It's just got oh so far to go.
But they missed and went right through her
Though I couldn't find them truer.
That your love should strike so weak
And our affections feel so meek
And our futures seem so bleak
And oh we've got so far to go
We're not ever coming home

Correct lyrics are these:
it was the shortest day of autumn untill the moment that i caught on i might still be forgotten
i was so scared to try to kiss you now we'd barely find an issue but youre barely finding it used oh its not fair that your love should move so slow like the faintest starlights glow which moves swiftly oh i know its just got oh so far to go
so i sent some glances to her but they missed or went right through her though i couldn't have aimed truer
and its not fair that your love should strike so weak and our affections feel so meek and our future'd seem so bleak and oh weve got so far to go
Were not ever coming home were not ever coming home
are you sure the lyrics aren't "I was so scared to try to kiss you Now we just scarcely find an issue" because when i listen to it i hear that pretty clearly

I hope I'm not the only one to ever comment on this haha. I was one of those kids who loved hellogoodbye in the very very earliest of beginnings when people considered them "indie" and not well known at all haha. Back in the EP/Cali only days. They were a favorite for a lot of us back then i think. Finally zombies came out and we all loved it but it was also popularity extraordinaire so fast. Que twelve year olds. Okay now fast forward like 3+ years. All of us who loved them as young music-whore high school kids are in college now. There is new indie music to love and HG is definately not "cool" to like as it once was, yet if you ever had a connection with this band you still secretly listen to them on your ipod when you're feeling happy go lucky or nostalgic. Now que this new EP.....years later.....we've all grown up....yet.....we listen........the first time i listened to the song "When we first met" i thought it was "ok", but would i ever listen to it? eh maybe if i was still 16. When i heard this song, i actually liked it. Like genuinely. A more mature sound. More mature song. It sounds and feels a lot different from the old hg but i still liked it and I was actually surprised about it. Good job hellogoodbye. As for the meaning? the part about the stars obviously reflects the fact that it seems to move so slow to us but its really moving at the speed of light. That's why it conflicts slow and swiftly. Also i think it could be about unrequited love and its just not going to work again. That is why they are never going "home" or to the way it used to be.
