Last night I lay in bed Replaying Friday in my head Remembering you taking me out with qualifiers

Last night I lay awake Feeling a funny kinda ache Just wishing for a way to change what had transpired

If only we could redo goodbyes I know I would have Hugged you back a little tighter Dawdled just a little longer Spoken up a little louder Held you for more of forever

So now I'm realizing that you Turned the engine off and came to Stand there next to me hands in your pockets

You were looking at my feet And I could feel the bittersweetness Of goodbye filling the moment so I ran

Away from you What would you have me do When my heart knew It couldn't take another blow

But if only we could redo goodbyes I know I would have Hugged you back a little tighter Dawdled just a little longer Spoken up a little louder Held you for more of forever

And now I can imagine How you'd planned this conversation And rehearsed like twenty times what you would say

Coz when farewells pass so easily You can't just say something cheesy And pretend that we'd still have another day

To skip cliches And spill all that our souls Needed to say But my heart was clogging up my throat

But if only we could redo goodbyes I know I would have Hugged you back a little tighter Dawdled just a little longer Spoken up a little louder Held you for more of forever

And now you're half a world away I'll leave the land of yesterday Coz I know that the past is gone and dead

So I'm sitting here and sighing This song's oversimplifying Everything unspoken trapped inside my head
