Goodbye
​
(VERSE)
How do you say goodbye old friend
We had a hell of a run,
A couple angles on fire makin' records skip
And I guess it's your turn to give a final speech
You left a trail of fire
Always jumpin’ off the bridge when the shore-break's deep
But who's to say just because you lived that way
That you won't meet your maker
Covered in the scars you got along the way
(CHORUS)
You gotta wash your soul clean
Keep it smooth like a riverbed stone
Keep your burdens on a string
Your heart wide open
And you’ll never be alone
(VERSE)
But back to goodbyes, keep em honest and sweet
If you've been runnin' all your life,
Sheddin' your skin to make both ends meet
Take a deep breath in maybe even take a knee
Don't be afraid to dust the Bible
Just to let him know that you're feelin’ the heat
Cause love's around, you gotta let it in
Cause if they rattle your cage
You're blowin' out the candles just to light em again
It's never goodbye If it's written in a song
‘Cause every time it's played it takes me back to that place
The story lives on
(CHORUS)
You gotta wash your soul clean
Keep it smooth like a riverbed stone
Keep your burdens on a string
Your heart wide open
You’ll never be alone
And if your wearin’ out the soles of your boots
Thinking any moment that you could sink
You gotta turn on a song
Close your eyes and think of me
You gotta wash your soul clean
Keep it smooth like a riverbed stone
Keep your burdens on a string
Your heart wide open
And you’ll never be alone
And if your wearin’ out the soles of your boots
Thinking any moment that you could sink
You gotta turn on a song
Close your eyes and think of me
(VERSE)
So who's to say goodbyes are for the weak
Just remember one thing
Think for yourself and it will set yourself free
