Goodbye, Goodbye
[Verse 1: Travis Jarreau]
Thinkin' of you
Yeah, We had it all
Drinkin' a few
Yeah, we had a ball
Life's a sport man and we played the field
Life's too short man and the pain's too real
Negative news is what they report
But a lovable person is what I retort
Yeah, we hurt
But it's great
'Cuz life always seems to find its way out the dirt
You're not near
That's absurd
I'm right here living for you
That's my word
The incident got me shaken and stirred
But I'll make it through
Undeterred for you
Wishin' that you were alive
Together, you and me
We would thrive
Pretty soon at the gates
I'll arrive
But until then in memory
I survive for you
[Hook: Travis Jarreau]
Goodbye, Goodbye
It's far too soon
When you lose someone
Would you sew your wounds
Yeah, you would (x2)
Yeah, you would, would, would
Yeah, you would
Said, Goodbye, Goodbye
My fallen moon
Could you soldier on
In this old platoon
Yeah, you could(x2)
Yeah, you could, could, could
Yeah, you could
[Verse 2: Travis Jarreau]
Head up, Get up, Don't let up
They're gonna wanna see you shine
Fed up with the setup (hey)
We don't wanna see this crime
Don't wanna know who caused them
But who in the world will solve them
We should give them the light
Bad decisions from a good kid (got 'em)
That's how you living when you hood kid
If I was there
I would've told you what you shoulda did
But instead I got some ****
And now my boy is
All of us are given a floor
But some who walk it they grippin
Others who walk on the floor
They get to the trippin' and slippin'
I don't wanna live anymore
In these awful conditions
I'm just wishing that my man was here
I forever miss him
[Hook: Travis Jarreau]
Goodbye, Goodbye
It's far too soon
When you lose someone
Would you sew your wounds
Yeah, you would (x2)
Yeah, you would, would, would
Yeah, you would
Said, Goodbye, Goodbye
My fallen moon
Could you soldier on
In this old platoon
Yeah, you could(x2)
Yeah, you could, could, could
Yeah, you could
[Breakdown: Travis Jarreau]
Hey girl
Dry your pretty eyes, your eyes
For me
'Cuz caterpillars
Cucoon to bu*terflies
The holes is where they shot me
No, they never got me
Though we holding on
Still, we going strong
Levitate every soul
Elevate every goal
Your memory's never old
We rising up out the coal
Diamonds, they overflow
Shining to let us know
Even though you're withdrawn
You really are never gone (x2)
[Outro: Travis Jarreau]
Goodbye, Goodbye
Yeah
This one goes out to
To all the families of the victims of
Aurora
Newtown
Treyvon
And really anyone who has ever lost a loved one
No matter your cla**, ethnicity, or religion
To all the fallen soldiers who have fought for us
All over the world
K-Mac, we miss you
We move on, but you're not forgotten
Yeah
Hey girl
Dry your pretty eyes, your eyes
For me
