I HEARD IT ON THE PHONE
IT WOULDN'T BE TOO LONG
YOU TOLD ME HOW IT PLAYED OUT
I HOPED THAT YOU WERE WRONG

YOU USED TO LOVE THE OCEAN
NOW IT MADE YOU SAD
THE MORE IT LEFT YOUR FINGERS
THE MORE THAT YOU GOT MAD

BYE, BYE, BYE - IN THE BLINKING OF AN EYE
IF YOU WANNA GO TO HEAVEN BE PREPARED TO DIE
BYE, BYE, BYE - TAKES FOREVER TO DECIDE
IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE ANSWER, BETTER PICK A SIDE

THE HOLIDAYS GET HARDER
FOR YOU THEY ALWAYS WERE
THE DAYS DRAG ON SO SLOWLY
THE YEARS THEY ARE A BLUR

ONE DAY SOMEONE MISSED YOU
THE SUN NEVER CAME UP
IT'S HEAVY WHEN YOU'RE GUILTY
WITH NO ONE LEFT TO JUDGE

CHORUS

I GUESS WE WON'T BE RICH NOW
IN OTHER PEOPLE'S DREAMS
AND CLOSER TO THE FINISH
IT LESS IMPORTANT SEEMS

MY TETHER'S GETTING LOOSE
I'M FURTHER FROM THE GROUND
I HARDLY RECOGNIZE THESE
PEOPLE THAT SURROUND

CHORUS x2
