Lyrics:
After we say goodnight l smoke another twenty cigarettes Before I close my eyes If I’m up past midnight Might have a chance to say, ‘good morning’ Right before I cut the light When I wake up at dawn I reach across the void, just hoping We can share a moment’s time And then the evening’s mine And I can finally say ‘I love you’ Right before I say ‘goodnight’
——————
Oh why oh why Do i even try?
——————
When I don’t wanna say goodnight And every day without you Feels one closer to goodbye I just need to make this world seem right You just sleep tight, til I’m on your side Know you need to go to sleep There’s comfort knowing that at least you can escape this heat I’ll sit up and watch, this world burn bright I’ll be alright When you’re on my time
——————
They didn’t change the date That’s another month to wait Another month to try To hold onto a lie
——————
Oh why oh why Do I even try? Every other girl We’d just cut the line
——————
But I don’t wanna say goodnight Cuz every day without you Feels one closer to goodbye I just need to make this world seem right You can sleep tight, til I’m on your side When you finally go to sleep There’s comfort knowing that, at least You can escape this heat I’ll sit up and watch, this world’s on fire But I’ll be alright When you’re on my time
——————
When you’re on my time When you’re on my time You’re on my time You’re on my time I’ll be alright When you’re on my time
