Words get tangled on your tongue
and you stumble on your feet when you miss somebody
and everywhere you think you see them
walking down the street when you miss somebody
when you miss somebody you tell yourself
a hundred thousand times
nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try
to wave goodbye wave goodbye
every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear
when you miss somebody
and every thing of beauty that you see only brings a tear
when you miss somebody
when you miss somebody you tell yourself everything
will be alright
try to stand up strong and brave when all you want to do
is lay down and die
how long i've waited for an answer or a sign
lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying
to wave goodbye
so now you start to recognize that every single path you see
leads to a tear in your eye
so wave goodbye wave goodbye
