Goodbye
Cab Cris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Six o'clock and I'm falling down,
And it must be miles on the stereo
She told me that it's over now, pack the bags for Mexico
Oh, I couldn't believe how quickly time has come and gone
Again, again
Searching through the passing clouds and
I know it's you I'm looking for,
And I wish one would turn around
And I see the smile that keep me warm,
Always treasure the nights that we have spent under the Moon
Just me and you

Oh, I'll be standing here on the darkest side,
You just left me here where the shadows hide
So I count the stars, searching for a sign
And I asked myself
What if you and I had never said goodbye!
Ooooh oh goodbye? oooh oh

Six o'clock in the morning now,
when I'm waking up to catch a flight
I thought I'd get to you somehow
But I forgot to call and didn't just right
See your face to say the things I should've said to you all along!

Oh, I'll be standing here on the darkest side,
You just left me here where the shadows hide
So I count the stars, searching for a sign
And I asked myself
What if you and I had never said goodbye?!

A thousand miles away, yet everyday I run to find you
And bring you close to me, so you can see that you're the one
Who gives me everything I'll ever need,
you make so complete
I'll give you all of me
If you don't say goodbye,
Ooooh oh goodbye? oooh oh

I'll be standing here on the darkest side,
You just left me here where the shadows hide
So I count the stars, searching for a sign
And I asked myself




What if you and I had never said goodbye?!
Ooooh oh goodbye? oooh oh

Overall Meaning

In "Goodbye," Cab Cris details the aftermath of a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is stuck in a time warp and unable to move on, as he reflects on the past and his ex. The song opens with the singer falling down and surrounded by miles of radio tunes, inferring his feeling of displacement and confusion. The second line declares his ex-partner's decision to end the relationship and move on to Mexico. Despite it being possible, he does not understand how time flies quickly, and he finds himself searching for his ex in every passing cloud. The singer reminisces the jolly and intimate moments he shared with his ex-partner under the moonlight and treasures them every single night.


The chorus features the singer standing in a dark alley, left alone by his lover, while he counts the stars and wonders if there was an alternative to their farewell. He beats himself up for not doing things the right way and wishes he could go back to change things. However, it's too late, and he's left with regrets.


The second verse has the singer waking up at six in the morning, trying to catch a flight to meet his ex-partner. However, he fails to do so as he's distracted and forgets to make the call. He concludes that he should have expressed his feelings for her a long time ago, but sadly, it's too late to make amends.
