Captain Tractor - 1000 Goodbyes lyrics

rate me

I've spent all my life just carrying on<br />

And for every right thing I've done ten have been wrong<br />

It's not that I'm bragging for the sake of a song<br />

But life looks much better in perspective<br />

And your eyes look at me from near and from far<br />

Ten thousand miles and you're still where you are<br />

Another brass rail in another old bar<br />

I'm better at dreaming than living<br />

REFRAIN:<br />

For every hello there's a thousand good byes<br />

And leaving is harder when I look in your eyes<br />

You've got to believe me I'm not telling lies<br />

That for every hello there's a thousand good byes<br />

The years slip away like the spring melts the snow<br />

And I'm older and wiser than you'll ever know<br />

And if you believe that then it's time I should go<br />

'Cause I'm just as confused and more twisted<br />

And things keep on changing for better or worse<br />

And rhymes just get harder with every new verse<br />

And to say that I love you sounds way too perverse<br />

'Cause I'm getting on that bus in the morning<br />

REFRAIN<br />

I could give it all to you<br />

But I can't control the things that I do<br />

And I don't know what to say<br />

'Cause the sun's coming up and I know I can't stay<br />

REFRAIN (x2)<br />

So goodbye<br />

And goodbye<br />

Yeah goodbye
