​goodbye lover

[Verse 1]
We were driving back from the cabin
Drove into some two-storey town
There were fairgrounds set up for the evening
With people from miles around

[Pre-Chorus]
And we snuck in when the guards weren't looking and played
We ate junk and took photos and lost all the games

[Chorus]
We were a ferris wheel, round and around
With beautiful views you can't get from the ground
But beautiful things always come to an end
Goodbye, lover
Goodbye, old friend

[Verse 2]
We watched a thousand hours of TV
And too many comedy shows
We told a thousand terrible jokes
And borrowed each other's best clothes

[Pre-Chorus]
Dead of the night, you'd start shaking, unable to breathe
Working through trauma that I wasn't ready to see

[Chorus]
We were a midnight panic attack
Where a beautiful pain lays you flat on your back
But beautiful pain always comes to an end
Goodbye, lover
Goodbye, old friend

[Bridge]
At dawn, the phone's gonna ring
Somehow we're gonna go back
To sleep in in your bed
Bodies entangled, I'm listening for you babe
Then came the nights where I knelt just to cry in the corner
My palms on the floor
Then came the nights where we tried to sleep with the ghosts of who we were before
And some part of me wants to love you until I am gone
And some part of me is just tired and wants to move on

[Chorus]
Soon we'll be figments in pictures we took
The voicemails you left me, the unreturned books
Then even the missing you will fade in the end
Goodbye, lover
Goodbye, old friend
