Rachel Zegler & Ben Platt Lyrics

"Goodbye Until Tomorrow / I Could Never Rescue You"
(originally by Sherie Rene Scott & Norbert Leo Butz)

Don't kiss me goodbye again
Leave this night clean and quiet
You want the last word
You want me to laugh
But leave it for now

All you can say
All you can feel
Was wrapped up inside that one perfect kiss
Leave it at that:
I'll watch you turn the corner and go...

And goodbye until tomorrow
Goodbye until the next time you call
And I will be waiting
I will be waiting
Goodbye until tomorrow
Goodbye 'til I recall how to breathe
And I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you

I stand on a precipice
I struggle to keep my balance
I open myself
I open myself one stitch at a time

Finally yes!
Finally now!
Finally something takes me away
Finally free!
Finally he can cut through these strings
And open my wings!

So goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until my feet touch the floor
And I will be waiting
I will be waiting!
Goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until the rest of my life
And I have been waiting
I have been waiting for you!
Waiting for you
Waiting for you!

I called Elise to help me pack my bags
I went downtown and closed the bank account
It's not about another shrink
It's not about another compromise
I'm not the only one who's hurting here
I don't know what the hell is left to do
You never saw how far the crack had opened
You never knew I had run out of rope and

I could never rescue you
All you ever wanted
But I could never rescue you
No matter how I tried
All I could do was love you hard
And let you go

No matter how I tried
All I could do was love you
God, I loved you so
So we could fight
Or we could wait
Or I could go...

Goodbye until tomorrow!
Goodbye until I crawl to your door
And I will be waiting
I will be waiting!

You never noticed how
The wind had changed

Goodbye until tomorrow! (I didn't see a way)
Goodbye until I'm done thanking God (We both could win)

And I have been waiting!
I have been waiting for you!

Goodbye, Cathy

I have been waiting!
I have been waiting for you!

Goodbye...

I will keep waiting—
I will be waiting for you!

Just close the gate
I'll stand and wait
Jamie

Goodbye
