Hello, Goodbye

from Hot Love by buttercup

/

lyrics

“hello, goodbye” (sanden)

tried to do your best, but you could not
a quiet stroke in a drowning pool
a tangled knot
we get one shot
it sounds so hollow, it’s nothing new
as we follow veins of pain in you
we saw, the pain flows hot

here’s your record under the needle’s cut

hey, we’re not getting high
as we watch you wave goodbye

hello, goodbye

waylaid on a bullet train
why’d the shining, flying sun go away?
it’s your sobriquet
we felt so bright in our newfound light
in our transparent, standard lives
not like, unlike yours

here’s your heart’s chord
pounding out the darkest sounds

hey, we’re not getting high
as we watch you wave goodbye
down, did we let you down?
drowning out a paste-down smile o’er stage fright hands
till you’re gone

hello, goodbye
