Goodnight Goodnight
Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me hanging from a thread we once swung from together
I licked my wounds, but I can't ever see them getting better
Something's gotta change
Things cannot stay the same

Her hair was pressed against her face
Her eyes were red with anger
Enraged by things unsaid, and empty beds, and bad behavior
Something's gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh

I'm sorry
I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me
I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Hope that things work out all right, yeah, whoa, whoa

The room was silent as we all tried so hard to remember
The way it feels to be alive
The day that he first met her
Something's gotta change
Things cannot stay the same

You make me think of someone wonderful, but I can't place her
I wake up every morning wishing one more time to face her
Something's gotta change
It must be rearranged, oh

I'm sorry
I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me
I cannot carry the weight of the heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Hope that things work out all right

So much to love
So much to learn
But I won't be there to teach you, oh
I know I can be close
But I try my best to reach you

I'm so sorry
I did not mean to hurt my little girl
It's beyond me
I cannot carry the weight of a heavy world
So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight




Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Hope that things work out all right, yeah, whoa, oh, yeah

You left me hanging from a thread
Você me deixou pendurado por um fio

We once swung from together
No qual a gente um vez balançou juntos

I lick my wounds but I can't
Eu lambo minhas feridas, mas eu nunca consigo

Never see them getting better
vê-las ficando melhor

Something's gotta change
Alguma coisa precisa mudar

Things cannot stay the same
Coisas não podem permanecer as mesmas


Her hair was pressed against her face
O cabelo dela estava pressionado contra seu rosto

Her eyes were red with anger
Os olhos dela estavam vermelhos de raiva

Enraged by things unsaid
Enfurecida por coisas não ditas

And empty beds and bad behaviour
E camas vazias e mau comportamento

Something's gotta change
Alguma coisa precisa mudar

It must be rearranged, oh
Isso precisa ser rearranjado, oh


I'm sorry, I did not mean
Me desculpe, eu não tinha a intenção

To hurt my little girl
De machucar a minha garotinha

It's beyond me, I cannot carry
É além de mim, eu não posso carregar

The weight of a heavy world
o peso de um mundo opressivo

So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Então boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeh
Boa noite, espero que as coisas voltem ao normal, yeah

Whoa, oh
Whoa, oh


The room was silent as we
O quarto continua silencioso enquanto nós

All tried so hard to remember
Todos tentamos tão desesperadamente lembrar

The way it feels to be alive
Como é se sentir vivo

The day that he first met her
O dia em que ele a viu pela primeira vez

Something's gotta change
Alguma coisa precisa mudar

Things cannot stay the same
Coisas não podem permanecer as mesmas


You make me think of someone wonderful
Você me faz pensar em alguém maravilhoso

But I can't place her
Mas eu não posso situá-la

I wake up every morning
Eu acordo toda manhã

Wishing one more time to face her
Desejando mais uma vez encará-la

Something's gotta change
Alguma coisa precisa mudar

It must be rearranged, oh
Isso precisa ser rearranjado, oh


I'm sorry, I did not mean
Me desculpe , eu não tinha a intenção

To hurt my little girl
De machucar a minha garotinha

It's beyond me, I cannot carry
É além de mim, eu não posso carregar

The weight of a heavy world
o peso de um mundo opressivo

So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Então boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, hope that things work out all right
Boa noite, espero que as coisas voltem ao normal


So much to love
Tanto para amar

So much to learn
Tanto para aprender

But I won't be there to teach you, oh
Mas eu não estarei lá para ensinar você, oh

I know I can be closed
Eu sei eu posso ser fechado

But I try my best to reach you
Mas eu tento meu melhor para alcançar você


I'm so sorry, I did not mean
me desculpe, eu não tinha a intenção

To hurt my little girl
De machucar a minha garotinha

It's beyond me, I cannot carry
É além de mim, eu não posso carregar

The weight of a heavy world
o peso de um mundo opressivo

So goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Então boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
Boa noite, boa noite, boa noite, boa noite

Goodnight, hope that things work out all right, yeh
Boa noite, espero que essas coisas voltem ao normal, yeah

Whoa, oh…
Whoa, oh

Yeah…
Yeah
