Lyrics
Wave Goodbye
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Words get tangled on your tongue
And you stumble on your feet
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them walking down the street
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever
So you give it one more try
To wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ears
When you miss somebody
And everything of beauty that you see only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody you tell yourself everything will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave
When all you want to do
Is lay down and die
How long I've waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye
So now you start to recognize that every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
So wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
