Both optimistic and melancholy, "Goodbye" is a song about leaving behind someone special, and about being left behind...and there's whistling!
lyrics
Take me to the beach to watch the stars,
Let me memorize the feeling of your arms,
You ask me if there’s anything I’d change,
I wish we could be in the same place.
You stay behind and watch until I’m gone,
The years that go by quick can feel so long,
The world I am returning to is blank,
I wanna fill it in but I have to wait.
Tell me why,
I don’t why,
I must always say…
Goodbye, goodbye.
I would like to find a way to be,
Fine with what is happening to me,
But I have seen the brightest colors this year,
They always seem to fade,
Then disappear.
Tell me why,
I don’t know why,
You must always say…
Goodbye, Goodbye.
I feel like I’m from a different time,
Watching you move on with your life,
And I’m stuck here,
Saying goodbye,
Goodbye.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Tell me why,
I just don’t wanna say goodbye.
