Goodbye Waves and Driveways

from Hello, Good Friend. by The Rocket Summer

/

lyrics

Just walk away, and gather your thoughts for the second wave,
of this argument on this epic, changing day, It's crazy to think that an hour ago all things were great. But we stand here both proud both wrong and right, throwing cheap shots in this stubborn fight, and our lives are so intertwined in one, but we're just so stuck in this moment its clear that we're coming undone.

And you see, it's hard for me to breath, when I get all worked up with these feelings, and I don't know exactly how it is, that we can be so mad we consider to not exist, when we both know there's so much love clenched within our fists.

The goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate, and yes I'm throwing it right back at her, while we're drowning in rivers from our faces we just wanna know if this, is this over? A trembling silence fills the air,
as we stand here, so impaired, but so aware.

I sit in this house alone with fresh photographs, I just can't relax.
And like cigarette smoke, I'm starting to choke on this,
that half of my souls is on the road in a car with a girl in a dress...
And it's making it hard for me to breath, when I get all worked up with these feelings, and I don't know exactly how it is, that just to say I'm right, you're wrong, we both lose to win.

The goodbye waves in the driveway just resonate, and yes I'm throwing it right back at her, while were drowning in rivers from our faces
we just wanna know if this, is this over? A trembling silence fills the air , as we stand here...

So hey now, maybe we're just being stupid, hey, maybe we're being dumb, hey, maybe it's time that we stopped and we realized like a flag in the wind we are one, and how at first it's made so pure and lovely,
but in battle can be torn to shreds, but with time and with patience and love and affection can be fixed with needle and thread.
Because I love you, and you love me, and nothing will make this leave,
I said I love you, and you love me, and nothing will make, make, make, make this leave, so remember me, remember me, remember me...

and don't walk away.
