Goodnight, Stranger
Goodnight, stranger
The night is creaking beneath our feet
Goodnight, stranger
The last dance has skipped a beat
You're lovely fire to dance beside
But now it's time to run and hide
Call your taxi
Pay me no mind
Goodnight, stranger
The childish things have all been done
Goodnight, stranger
Another year has fallen around the sun
The lovely things have all been spent
Now it's time to pay my rent
But I'm not ready
And you're not willing
If you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the world
Where there is a light
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
Instead, good night
Goodnight, city
Take my stranger back to safety's den
Goodnight, city
And where I sleep, don't dare to speak her name
When the flood decides to finally come
Like when she spoke and stopped my tongue
Don't try to wake me
There's nothing to wake
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the world
Where there is a light
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the void
To the end of the night
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the line
And take my sight
But instead
You never said good night
The night is creaking beneath our feet
Goodnight, stranger
The last dance has skipped a beat
You're lovely fire to dance beside
But now it's time to run and hide
Call your taxi
Pay me no mind
Goodnight, stranger
The childish things have all been done
Goodnight, stranger
Another year has fallen around the sun
The lovely things have all been spent
Now it's time to pay my rent
But I'm not ready
And you're not willing
If you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the world
Where there is a light
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
Instead, good night
Goodnight, city
Take my stranger back to safety's den
Goodnight, city
And where I sleep, don't dare to speak her name
When the flood decides to finally come
Like when she spoke and stopped my tongue
Don't try to wake me
There's nothing to wake
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the world
Where there is a light
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the void
To the end of the night
And if you really wanted me
You could have really taken me
You could really take me to the end
To the end of the line
And take my sight
But instead
You never said good night
