You always said you could sleep through the end of the world
and all these garden-variety crises like no other girl.
I always hoped you were old enough to notice stuff like
the weaknesses in your armor
and how much harder I had to try
when you saw more string than pearl.
You're just too good at keeping secrets.
And I'm just not good at finding out.
I'll give you something you can keep it.
My last goodbye is just, "over and over and out".
Sounds like you made that promise just to break it.
Another teenage focus group convinced that this is how they'll make it. I'm just another lucky charm hanging from your not-so-lucky bracelet.
There wasn't irony on your lips but I can nearly taste it.
You're just too good at keeping secrets.
And I'm just not good at finding out.
I'll give you something you can keep it.
My last goodbye is just, "over and over and out".
You've got that dress on again,
and I've been cold shouldering friends,
and I haven't since gotten sleep,
been burning holes in my sheets.
It's not a matter of fact,
it's just a question of doubt,
My last goodbye is, "over and over and out".
