AJR - The Big Goodbye Lyrics
Official




Alright, well, here we go again
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 30, will you give me 35
5, make it 40, will you give me 40, will you give me 45, 5, make it 50
Will you give me 50, will you give me 55, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30)
I wrote a song 'bout bein' weak
Now I hear congratulations
They know me in LA now, it seems
Today I finally get to leave (5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it)
Leave this little life I'm used to
The shows that no one came to
They're shrinking in my rear-view
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 f*ckin' 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
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
Just make it sound like this
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
Oh, I wish I could take you all where I'm headin'
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 f*ckin' 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 doin'
Tell us about it at the ten-year reunion
We'll all be here, kid
Sayin' we knew ya
Hope you can make it to the ten-year reunion
Hope you can make it to the ten-year reunion (just make it sound like this)
Hope you can make it to the ten-year reunion
Alright, then
Just make it sound like this
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
(5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45)
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30, will you give me 40, will you give me 45
5 hundred, 25, will you give me 30, make it 30
Just make it sound like this
(Just make it sound like this)
Then someday I'll sing about the shit I did
And not the shit I'll miss
Then my whole life can sound like this
