I washed the dishes, poured out the old wine
Called a new friend for the second time
It's not bad, this brand new life
It's clean and it's sharp, like a brand new knife

I pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound, turn off the light
Close my eyes, and I quietly whisper
Goodnight, Goodnight

You're not here, you're not even there
Out of my heart, out of my hair
I can't roll away with this missing piece
You could only ever want what I could never ever be

I just pull up the covers and curl up tight
Turn down the sound, turn off the light
Close my eyes, I quietly whisper
Goodnight, Goodnight

How can I be okay, if I pulling away
For the things that held together my life
All I want tonight, is to touch you and kiss you
But I only wish you goodnight
Goodnight
