Drove all night through the dirty melted snow Didn't care if we ever got played on the radio Held ourselves together with tape and twine Wielded confidence like it was a shiny knife Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye It happens when you're not twenty but forty-one And you have to sink into the you you've now become Will the teenage sneer you so cultivated Sneer back at you and make you feel so hated Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Maybe it's human nature to feel so sure That suffering's a good excuse for bad behavior Left fades right and up can turn to down Pain can't fade when you wear it as a crown Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodnight, goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
