lyrics

Goodbyes
Come in threes and fours and fives
Well, I’m waiting on a call
My mind
Never settles in the city these nights
Cars pass, memories dance
With my thoughts up on the wall

And at my house
We’re standing ‘neath the street light singing
And right now
Seems so far away
And at your place,
The tea pot in the kitchens ringing
And I say
“Well, I’m okay if you’re okay”
And at Pete’s on 3rd,
You’re sippin’ dark roast
And you heed the words:
“Young love is an old hoax.”

Goodbyes
Come in good-willed, heartfelt lies
Now, my phone’s begun to rot
My mind
Went jogging through the city last night
Heart’s race, chasing down names
Of the faces I forgot

And at my house
We’re standing ‘neath the street light singing
And right now
Seems so far away
And at your place,
The tea pot in the kitchens ringing
And I say
“Well, I’m okay if you’re okay”
And at Pete’s on 3rd,
I’m zipping my coat
And I heed the words:
“Young love is a quick, common cold.”

Stuck between naive and cynics
No such thing as realistic
Though, coffee taught me one thing
About honesty
Shaking in corner cafe
Can’t say what you need to say
Well, don’t you dare say
“Someday, maybe, probably…”
Shaking in a corner franchise
Can’t keep your eyes on my eyes
Just take good care if nothing’s there
To promise me

And at Pete’s on 3rd,
You’re sipping dark roast
And you heed the words:
“Young love is an old hoax.”
And at Pete’s on 3rd,
I’m zipping my coat
And I heed the words:
“Young love is a quick, common cold.”

Said, “Excuse me sir,
I’ll take mine to go…”
Heed them now, hope someday
Maybe we’ll know
