Weird Goodbyes Lyrics

Weird Goodbyes - The National/Bon Iver

Lyrics by:Matt Berninger

Composed by:Aaron Brooking Dessner

 

Memorize the bathwater memorize the air

There'll come a time I'll wanna know I was here

 

Names on the doorframes inches and ages

Handprints in concrete at the softest stages

I don't know why I don't try harder

 

I feel like throwing towels into water

 

Get it down to nothing everything that matters

Fever flashes eyelashes and traffic patterns

Humidity history chemistry and panic

Swimsuits in windows of electric minivans

I don't know why I don't try harder

 

I've been going down some some strange water

 

Move forward now there's nothing to do

Can't turn around I can't follow you

 

Your coat's in my car I guess you forgot

It's crazy the things we let go of

It finally hits me a mile's drive

The sky is leaking my windshield's crying

I'm feeling sacred my soul is stripped

 

Radio's painful the words are clipped

 

The grief it gets me the weird goodbyes

My car is creepin' I think it's dying

I'm pullin' over until it heals

I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields

 

What was I even leaving for

 

I keep going back and forth

 

I think now I'm about to see

 

Didn't know how sad it'd be

 

Memorize the bathwater memorize the air

There'll come a time I'll wanna know I was here

Names on the doorframes inches and ages

Handprints in concrete at the softest stages

I don't know why I don't try harder

 

I feel like throwing towels into water

Move forward now there's nothing to do

Can't turn around and I can't follow you

 

Your coat's in my car I guess you forgot

It's crazy the things we let go of

It finally hits me a mile's drive

The sky is leaking my windshield's crying

I'm feeling sacred my soul is stripped

 

Radio's painful the words are clipped

The grief it gets me and the weird goodbyes

My car is creepin' I think it's dying

I'm pullin' over until it heals

I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields

The grief it gets me the weird goodbyes

My car is creepin' I think it's dying

I'm pullin' over until it heals

 

I'm on a shoulder of lemon fields
