Thank You & Goodbye
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the moment where everything,
Feels like slow motion.
So tell me again, that it's all gonna be okay.
And every venue in every state.
Every memory along the way.
I'll never forget so please don't forget about me.
It all went so fast and now it's gone.
We're saying thank you and goodbye.
Said hello, now goodnight.
All we have are these photographs and memories of good times.
So thank you and goodbye,
As we're signing off tonight.
We all fought for this, but we're running out of time.
So thank you and goodbye.
And I'm not ready for the ending.
The heart and time that I've invested.
I've got two worlds and they're pulling me apart.
I've gotta believe that the best is on the horizon waiting.
Yet it seems like I'm just so far away from the start.
I'm trying to write these songs but my words just aren't enough.
It all went so fast and now it's gone.
We're saying thank you and goodbye.
Said hello, now goodnight.
All we have are these photographs and memories of good times.
So thank you and goodbye,
As we're signing off tonight.
We all fought for this, but we're running out of time.
So thank you and goodbye.
And there's no poetic words for the loss I feel inside of me.
I just have to accept failure.
I just haven't found my way there.
In and out again, have I lost hope?
I just have to accept failure.
I just haven't found my way there.
No not yet.
Please, not yet.
We're saying thank you and goodbye.
Said hello, now goodnight.
All we have are these photographs and memories of good times.
So thank you and goodbye,
As we're signing off tonight.
We all fought for this, but we're running out of time.
So thank you and goodbye.

1. This song is so emotionally beautiful 2. The comments break my heart 3. I’m so incredibly lucky that this band regrouped and found themselves again. I wouldn’t have ever discovered such a great talent. Sometimes it takes these low points to bring on the amazing moments to come. I have all my faith in this band and I’m so excited to hear everything that is to come.
Nick Mayer

I haven't loved an entire album while having it on constant repeat in some years now. Literally my favorite band.
Peyton Chisholm
This actually made me cry...why are you guys closing the doors? I have heard a couple people say things and didn't know if what's going around is true. You guys are such a great band, y'all deserved a lot more fans... Keep rocking and ever quit chasing yalls dreams for your band. Farewell and goodbye boys, thanks for inspiring me as a drummer and my band, you guys will always be the Boys of Fall....
Josh Calzada
Not sure if anyone is even logged into yalls YouTube account anymore, but man, I found this band (bc of Alonge) after yall stopped and let me tell you, you guys are awesome. Hope all of you are still making music. I find myself using yall as inspiration and influence lots of times while writing for my band haha. And the the members have no problem with that. Wish all of you the best and sorry for the long comment 😂 thanks for giving us an album we can listen to on repeat (like I do). God bless😁

Empezaba la pandemia, el estar encerrado hizo sacar mi peores temores, un dia en el aletorio de youtube apareció esta banda, me gustaba lo que estaba escuchando, de a poco iba sumando un tema mas, primero sus covers, luego sus temas, hoy en dia llevo un tatuaje de ellos, fueron mi compañia en los momentos mas oscuros del encierro, donde se apoderaban los miedos, las inseguridades, las ganas de no seguir en este mundo, es impresionante como una banda puede darte la esperanza de que se puede salir de la oscuridad, ojalá tenga la suerte de verlos aunque sea una vez en mi vida. Los amo, gracias por ser parte de mi vida y por salvarla.
Nicole viper
