Текст песни The Big Goodbye - AJR

The Big Goodbye

I wrote a song 'bout being weak
Now I hear congratulations
They know me in L.A. now it seems
Today I finally get to leave
Leave this little life I'm used to
The shows that no one came to
They're shrinking in my rearview

And I should be so happy I could cry
If this is what a happy end looks like

Someone tell me why, why I'm all in my head
Why you're all on my mind
Why it feels like my friends are leaving me behind
Why I miss all the shit I've seen a million times
No, don't look back, just drive
Someone tell me why
Why my town feels like home for the first time in years
Why'd I need to be known, they fucking know me here
But it could be a movie with a feel good end
Oh God, I hope it is
Then my whole life could sound like this

Just make it sound like this

Oh, wish I could take you all where I'm heading
Guess I can FaceTime into all of your weddings
And I'll be on your TVs, so you won't forget me
You won't forget me, right?

Oh, then tell me why, why I'm all in my head
Why you're all on my mind
Why it feels like my friends are leaving me behind
Why I miss all the shit I've seen a million times
No, don't look back, just drive
Someone tell me why
Why my town feels like home for the first time in years
Why'd I need to be known, they fucking know me here
But it could be a movie with a feel good end
Oh God, I hope it is
Then my whole life could sound like this

Don't turn around, kid, you know what you're doing
Tell us about it at the 10-year reunion
We'll all be here, kid, saying we knew ya
Hope you can make it to the 10-year reunion
Hope you can make it to the 10-year reunion
Just make it sound like this
Hope you can make it to the 10-year reunion
Alright then

Just make it sound like this
Just make it sound like this
Just make it sound like this

And someday I'll sing about the shit I did
And not the shit I'll miss
Then my whole life can sound like this
