Lyrics

Waste A Goodbye

You make me feel something I really can?t control
I hear your name is spoken
I feel like spitting on your soul
It?s not something that makes me proud
I know it?s downright wrong
To spit in public places even if I won?t get caught
Maybe you?re right
It?s more than just one song
That 60?s reverb sadness has been with us all along
Taking up space
Playing with my mind
I?m saving my breath
And I waste a goodbye
Open wounds and vinegar sting when they collide
The shaking makes you violent, your teeth begin to grind
I?m walking by your window
Your light is often on
I listen for a sound
Is a human being home
And I wonder what I?d do if I heard you singing songs
Some lonely Beach Boys tune
?Girl Don?t Tell Me? just for fun
Being true to your school,
Letting your colors fly
I?m saving my breath
And I waste a goodbye
It?s more than Prozac anger when the fever finally broke.
It?s less like intuition, more like some child?s joke
Now I don?t know for certain, just the what and where
About the girls in France and how the boys don?t even care.
And the man from Nantucket
He gave up and died
Carried him off in a bucket
I couldn?t even cry
