"Goodness Gracious" lyrics

"Goodness Gracious"

I lost the signal and put you away
Swore upon the sun I'd save you for a rainy day
Loosened the noose, then let go of the rope
I know if it's never coming back, it has to go

I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name)
I wanna hold you close, but I never wanna feel ashamed
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night)
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight

Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling if off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling it off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms

I found the weakness and put it to play
Swore upon the stars I'd keep you till the night was day
Shake my head dizzy so I'll never know
You said if you're never coming back, you have to go

I keep calling your name (Keep calling your name)
I wanna hold you close, but I never wanna feel ashamed
So I keep calling at night (Keep calling at night)
I wanna hold you close, I just never wanna hold you tight

Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling it off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling it off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms

Oh, oh, oh, calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms

Oh, my goodness, here I go again
Pulling you back to me
Pulling you back into my arms so selfishly
I don't think I understand
'Cause I don't really know myself
I keep calling you up, calling you up
Calling you up, calling you up, calling you up
(So I keep calling—)

Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling it off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
Goodness gracious, I can't seem to stop calling it off
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms

Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
Calling it off just to keep crawlin' to your arms
