<poem>Come here and pick me up (I'll pick you up) | |||
Let's go to dinner (We'll do whatever) | |||
I know you don't know me at all (I don't know you) | |||
We don't do things like this ever | |||
It's so nice in your car (In my car) | |||
The music sings sweetly (Stereo is playing) | |||
Walk across the bridge to the beach (Santa Monica) | |||
And kiss you while it's raining (While it's raining) | |||
Say goodbye (So say goodbye) | |||
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever) | |||
I'm in such a lonely place (Such a lonely place) | |||
And it could be forever (Goodbye) | |||
Your place is so much different than mine (But, it's so normal) | |||
It's so calm and peaceful (So quiet and empty) | |||
I could lay in your living room (You could stay in my room) | |||
As long as possible | |||
In the back of the taxi I feel (I watched you get in the taxi) | |||
Loss of home and country (You still don't know me) | |||
Back down to the storage space, yeah (As you go down) | |||
L.A. can be so lonely | |||
Say goodbye (So say goodbye) | |||
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever) | |||
I'm in such a lonely place (It's a lonely place) | |||
And I could be forever (Goodbye) | |||
I know this is the only day we'll spend together | |||
(Strange days, strange nights, short time, strange life) | |||
And I know, I know, I know, after this it's over forever | |||
(Strange days, strange nights, a strange place in a strange life) | |||
Oh, say goodbye (So, say goodbye) | |||
So, say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever) | |||
You've put me in a lonely place (A lonely place) | |||
Where I could be forever (I could be forever) | |||
So, say goodbye (So, say goodbye) | |||
Say goodbye forever (Goodbye forever) | |||
You put me in a lonely place (In a lonely place) | |||
Where I could be forever</poem> | |||
