[Verse 1]
It's the first time in a long time
That I've seen the light of day
The last time was the first time
That I heard you say my name
The Atlantic, large and gigantic
Couldn't keep our ships at bay
Though the Pacific waves came down on us
In a specific way
[Pre-Chorus]
In the morning she called, I didn't answer
I thought it better if she saw me in person
[Chorus]
I have never been good at goodbyes
Farewells are my least favorite lines
Leaving now has never been so bad
I'm looking forward to looking back
At me and you and everything, whoa
[Verse 2]
The bike messengers in the part of town
Ride way too fast
Although you got these four letters
Four days faster than the last
Tear them open in your bed
Gotta get these words into your head
Read them over, and over
And over, and over again
[Pre-Chorus]
It's the last time that I need this
It's the first time that I've asked
I am no longer looking forward
I am only looking back
[Chorus]
I have never been good at goodbyes
Farewells are my least favorite lines
Leaving now has never been so bad
I'm looking forward to looking back
At me and you and everything
[Bridge]
Babe, where is your sweater?
You'll catch a cold out in this weather
You are the only thing that matters
Through all this loud annoying chatter
Whether you are distant
Or your presence is nonexistent
You are the only thing
I could call my everything
[Chorus]
I have never been good at goodbyes (No)
Farewells are my least favorite lines
Leaving now has never been so bad
I'm looking forward to looking back
At me and you and everything
I have never been good at goodbyes
Farewells are my least favorite lines
Leaving now has never been so bad
I'm looking forward to looking back
At me and you and everything
[Outro]
Babe, where is your sweater?
You'll catch a cold out in this weather
You are the only thing that matters
You are the only thing that matters
