Goodbye, Goodnight Lyrics by Mae

Destination: Beautiful

2003

[Verse 1]
The nights are getting colder
The red light's on, it's over
To give up now doesn't make much sense
So this is my goodbye, surprised
Because I thought I could walk you home tonight
But you're leaving me here on the defense

[Chorus]
Goodbye
I'm not going to waste this time
This light that burns will keep on fading
Goodnight
I'm not getting up off of this ride
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive

[Verse 2]
I've written you this letter
Got it back, "return to sender"
But I just can't remember you being quiet like that
Misunderstand, we're holding hands
We're at the beach, we're throwing sand
As the lights just go up all around us
I can't believe it's over

[Chorus]
Goodbye
I'm not going to waste this time
This light that burns will keep on fading
Goodnight
I'm not getting up off of this ride
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive
Goodbye
I'm not going to waste this time
This light that burns will keep on fading
Goodnight
I'm not getting up off of this ride
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive

[Bridge]
I'm sitting under falling stars
Do you miss me where you are?
I'm making plans to be with you
But have they come unglued?
What am I to do?
Without you, without you, without you, without you

[Verse 3]
The nights are getting warm again
They've let you go, I let you in
Everything you're saying sounds right tonight
The waves are crashing on and on
Running even if we're wrong
This force is driving me to test the speed of light

[Chorus]
Goodbye
I'm not going to waste this time
This light that burns will keep on fading
Goodnight
I'm not getting up off of this ride
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive
Goodbye
I'm not going to waste this time
This light that burns will keep on fading
Goodnight
I'm not getting up off of this ride
I'm holding tight until I can feel alive
