lyrics

I awoke in a strange and melancholy lull
All the voices I'd known seemed to rattle around my skull
I leaned over the sink and I turned it into the sea
Still I couldn't take my eyes off you

Just a touch too much
Now I cut at the sight of the things we'd loved

Goodbye is where I live
Goodnight I won't forget

And I've swung through the trees
In daylight sepia toned
All the fumes of July burrowed deep inside my nose
And at the bottom of a crescent-shaped pool
I dreamt I was the sun
But I could never shine that bright for you

Just a touch too late
Have I slept through the cracks
In the gorgeous path you'd laid?

Goodbye is where I live
Goodnight I won't forget
