goodnight and go
Jeff Beck feat. Imogen Heap Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
You get me every time
Why d'ya have to be so cute?
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
And you think your alone
Why d'ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
It's always say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here, I'd sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good, we'd be great together.
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go
Say goodnight and go,
Why's it always always
Goodnight and go
Darling not again
Goodnight and go.

Say goodnight and go
Let's end our interaction for the night and go our separate ways
Skipping beats, blushing cheeks I am struggling
I'm feeling nervous and flustered in your presence
Daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café
I can't help but imagine romantic scenarios while sitting in this café
And then I'm left in bits recovering tectonic tremblings
Your mere presence has shaken me to my core and I'm trying to compose myself
You get me every time
You always have an effect on me
Why d'ya have to be so cute?
I can't resist your charm and good looks
It's impossible to ignore you
You command my attention and I can't ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
Your humor is irresistible and makes me like you even more
It's bad enough we get along so well
Our chemistry is so strong that it's difficult to keep a distance
Follow you home, you've got your headphones on and you're dancing
I'm secretly admiring you from a distance as you dance to music on your headphones
Got lucky, beautiful shot you taking everything off watch the curtains wide open
I happen to catch a glimpse of you undressing in front of an open window
Then you fall in the same routine flicking through the TV relaxed and reclining
After your moment of vulnerability, you return to your regular routine of watching TV and relaxing
And you think you're alone
You're unaware that someone is secretly admiring you
One of these days, you'll miss your train and come stay with me
I hope that someday you'll stay overnight with me after missing your train
It's always say goodnight and go
Our interactions always end with a polite goodbye
We'll have drinks and talk about things, any excuse to stay awake with you
I'll come up with any excuse to spend more time with you and engage in conversation over drinks
You'll sleep here, I'd sleep there, but then the heating may be down again
We could share a bed but the heating might not work properly
At my convenience
It would be most convenient for me
We'd be good, we'd be great together.
I believe we would make an excellent couple
Why's it always always
I find it frustrating that things always end this way
Darling not again
I'm resisting the urge to say goodbye and hoping for more time together
Goodnight and go.
We'll end things here and go our separate ways for the night
