lyrics

Curtains are drawn in the room, I'm making coffee
And it's past two in the morning
And we're listening to Ray Charles play
We still think it's yesterday
You play piano and I sing with you

But you with your green eyes don't like to stare into mine
Don't like to read the signs I've given you
This caffeine buzz is wearing off
And I should be waking up
But I'm still thinking my dreams will come true

Baby I'm done this time
Baby I'm gone goodbye, whoa
So long sailor boy
I hope you find what you've been
Searching the sea for
But this whole time I've been waiting by the oceanside
Hoping I can make you mine
But I don't want that anymore
So long, goodbye

Parking lots and Sharpee tattoos you draw on my wrist
Driving down the road with you, my feet are dangling out
The windows of your pickup truck and
Boy if I had any luck I'd be spending every afternoon with you

But you won't say what you need to say
I hate waiting day by day
When nothing's gonna ever change with you

Baby I'm done this time
Baby I'm gone, goodbye, whoa
So long sailor boy
I hope you find what you've been searching the sea for
This whole time I've been waiting by the oceanside
Hoping I can make you mine
But I don't want that anymore
So long, goodbye

Goodbye
Baby I'm done
Whoa
So long sailor boy
