"Goodnight" lyrics

"Goodnight"

I washed the dishes
Poured out the old wine
Called a new friend
For the second time
It's not bad
This brand new life
It's clean and it's sharp
Like a brand new knife

I pull up the covers
And curl up tight
Turn down the sound
Turn off the light
Close my eyes
And I quietly whisper:
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
(Goodnight)

You're not here
You're not even there
Out of my heart
Out of my hair
I can't roll away
With this missing piece
You could only ever want
What I could never ever be

I just pull up the covers
And curl up tight
Turn down the sound
Turn off the light
Close my eyes
I quietly whisper:
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
(Goodnight)

How can I be okay
If I'm pulling away
All the things that
Held together my life
All I want tonight
Is to touch you and kiss you
But I only wish you
Goodnight
Goodnight
Goodnight

I just pull up the covers
And curl up tight
Turn down the sound
Turn off the light
Close my eyes
And I quietly whisper:
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
(Goodnight)
(Goodnight)

I just pull up the covers
And curl up tight
Close my eyes
I quietly whisper:
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight"
(Goodnight)
"Oh, baby"
"Goodnight
Goodnight
My honey, just
Sleep tight
Sleep tight
My baby"

"No, oh
Goodnight
Goodnight
My honey
Just, just sleep tight
Sleep tight
Sleep tight"
