Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
It was a month
since he passed, maybe less
And no one knew what to do,
we were such a mess
We were texting, we were calling,
we were checking in
We said we ought to play a show
in honor of our friend
Well now that show's finally here, it's tonight
Supposed to go to the bowl,
get on stage, dim the lights
With our friends and our family,
in his name, celebrate
There's no way that I'll be ready
to get back up on that stage
Can't remember if I've cancelled any show
But I think about what I'm supposed to do
and I don't know
'Cause I think about not doing it
the same way as before
And it makes me wanna puke
my fucking guts out on the floor
We rehearsed it for a month,
I'm not worried about the set
I get tackled by the grief at times
that I would least expect
I know what I should be doing
when I'm singing but instead
We'll be playing through a song
and I'd remember in my head
Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
What they saying, I'm not raw?
What the fuck you take me for?
All the sudden you hear
what I've said a hundred ways before?
I been pushed, I been trapped
Drug myself through hell and back and
Fallen flat and had the balls
to start it all again from scratch
How do you feel,
how you doing, how'd the show go?
Am I insane to say
the truth is that I don't know
My body aches heads
spinning this is all wrong
I almost lost it
in middle of a couple songs
And everybody that I talk to is like, "wow
Must be really hard
to figure out what to do now"
Well thank you genius,
you think it'll be a challenge
Only my life's work hanging
in the fucking balance
And all I wanted was to get
a little bit of closure
And every step I took
I looked and wasn't any closer
'Cause sometimes you say goodbye,
yeah you say it
Over and over and over and over
Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Sometimes, sometimes
you don't say goodbye once
You say goodbye
over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
Over and over and over again
