  • If we were ghosts
    You could see inside of me, right into my soul
    To see what makes me up but focus on the holes
    I'd be the world around myself
    Hopelessly spinning 'round you yeah
    Turning every leaf and stone
    But that's not the way it goes

    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye

    If we were ghosts
    Floating high above the world
    Little would they know
    That to end is to begin
    Least that's what I hope
    That for a moment I could be
    Something a bit more complete yeah
    But we never keep what makes us whole
    But that's just the way it goes

    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye

    I will mess with every breath I take
    That shadows sadness flows through everything
    That shadows sadness flows through everything

    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    Just to see you, just to see you
    I have to wait till I get to the other side
    'Cause I never, never got to say goodbye

    Goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye
    Goodbye Writer/s: AARON PAULEY, ALAN ASHBY, PHIL MANANSALA, VALENTINO ARTEAGA
