Goodnight Destin
Benjamin Tod Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you say, carry weight that could kill a man
You gotta register, then you take a plunge
You gotta get back to life again
Learn how to heal and mend
Don't blink you'll lose some friends
Goodnight Destin
Glorify, every step that made you stronger
Don't deny, the bitter taste when it bites you back
It's a curse you earn, and you own it now
You gotta get back to life again
Learn how to heal and mend
Don't blink you'll lose some friends
Goodnight Destin
I think about, who I am and why I go onward
Turn around, and every time a piece of me is gone
Oh I wish you well
Down a wishing well
You gotta get back to life again
Learn how to heal and mend
Don't blink you'll lose some friends
Goodnight Destin

I will not repent cause I cause I don’t give a damn
You can send me to hell with the rest of my friends,
Right on Benjamin, I’ll be right there with you when it’s all said and done. Ain’t none of that “you’re invited but your friends can’t come” bullshit around here!
When can we get a copy of “what keeps me up now”? That’s by far my favorite right now but I can’t download it anywhere. Just YouTube or SoundCloud but only streaming. 11030 Over and Out
