Lyrics

that’s life

they say

im not so sure

i agree

lying here

inside my head

i’m begging you

not to give in

i always dreamed of flying high

….

i always want to live my life

with u

over and over

am i to blame

for what you see

is it you or

is it me

im thinking there

are demons to fight yet

ive decided to let them lie

deal with this when im dead

i cant tell you

what i

dont know

the day is long

learning as i go

i always dreamed of flying high

…

i always want to live my life

with u

Now that you know I’ll die

For you

“With You” by Sunset Sky: A Dance Anthem of Love, Dreams, and Resilience

In their latest release, “With You,” Sunset Sky continues to carve out their signature sound—moody, danceable, and emotional. The track is a heartfelt ode to love, dreams, and the inner struggles we all face. Its poignant lyrics, paired with an infectious beat, make it a song that’s as much about moving forward as it is about reflecting.

An Emotional Journey Through Sound

From the opening line, “That’s life, they say, I’m not so sure I agree,” the song captures the uncertainty and complexity of living. The lyrics invite listeners to ponder life’s challenges while finding hope and connection in the company of someone special.

The chorus, “I always dreamed of flying high with you, I always want to live my life with you,” is an uplifting declaration of love and shared dreams. It’s a powerful reminder that life’s beauty is often found in the relationships we nurture and the dreams we dare to share.

A Balancing Act Between Darkness and Light

What sets “With You” apart is its ability to juxtapose vulnerability with strength. Lines like, “I’m thinking there are demons to fight yet, I’ve decided to let them lie,” reveal the struggles many face in letting go of past burdens. Yet, the song doesn’t dwell in the darkness; instead, it offers a path forward, underscored by a pulsating rhythm that compels you to move.

The production mirrors this theme of duality, blending introspective verses with a soaring, anthemic chorus. Sunset Sky’s soundscape of synths, layered vocals, and driving basslines creates a dance floor moment that feels both intimate and expansive.

A Call to Embrace Life’s Uncertainties

The final lines, “Now that you know I’ll die for you,” leave listeners with a sense of devotion and urgency. It’s a statement of unconditional love, a reminder of the lengths we’ll go for those who mean the most to us. But it’s not just about romantic love—it’s about commitment to the people and dreams that define us.

Dancing Through Life’s Challenges

With You is more than just a dance track; it’s a reminder to live fully, love deeply, and face life’s uncertainties with courage. Whether you’re listening alone in your room or swaying to its beat under strobe lights, this song is an anthem for those who dream of soaring beyond life’s challenges—with someone by their side.

If you haven’t already, give “With You” a listen. Let its rhythm move you and its message inspire you to embrace life and love, one beat at a time.

Mirrors (Reflections on)

mirrors sunset sky

“Mirrors” is a dance track that captures the bittersweet struggle of saying goodbye to someone who has left an indelible mark on your life.

Releases on Spotify Sept. 20

Bandcamp

Mirrors by Sunset Sky

How Do We Say Goodbye?

Goodbyes are never easy. They often leave us with more questions than answers, lingering in our minds like a haunting melody. “Mirrors,” our latest dance track, dives deep into the emotional complexity of farewells, capturing the conflicting feelings that come with letting go of someone significant.

At first listen, “Mirrors” might seem like a simple dance track, designed to get you moving on the dance floor. But beneath the pulsing beats and infectious rhythms lies a deeper narrative—one that many of us can relate to. The song’s lyrics are a poignant exploration of memory, truth, and the struggle to move on. It’s not just about saying goodbye; it’s about the lingering presence of that goodbye in our lives.

The chorus, with its repeated question, “How do I say goodbye to someone like you?” …

…is the emotional heart of the song. It’s a question that doesn’t have a straightforward answer, much like the experience of parting ways with someone who has been deeply intertwined with your life. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, a close friendship, or even a moment that has passed, the echoes of these goodbyes often remain with us, reflected in the “mirrors” of our minds.

One of the most compelling lines in the song is, “Minding the rearview mirror while driving away.” This imagery perfectly encapsulates the struggle of moving forward while still being tethered to the past. It’s about trying to live your truth in the present while being constantly reminded of what’s behind you. The rearview mirror is a powerful symbol in the song—a small reflection of what we’ve left behind, but one that we can’t help but glance at as we move forward.

“Mirrors” is not just about sadness or loss; it’s also about resilience. The danceable beat suggests that even as we struggle with these heavy emotions, we must keep moving. Life doesn’t stop for our goodbyes; it pushes us onward. This track is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to carry on, even when our hearts are weighed down by the past.

We hope that “Mirrors” resonates with you on multiple levels. It’s a song for those moments when you’re driving alone at night, replaying memories in your mind, but it’s also a track to lose yourself in on the dance floor, finding solace in the rhythm and the movement. In many ways, “Mirrors” reflects the duality of life—the dance between holding on and letting go.

So, as you listen to “Mirrors,” we invite you to reflect on your own experiences of saying goodbye. How do you navigate those moments of farewell? How do you balance the past with the present? And most importantly, how do you keep dancing through it all?

Mirrors Lyrics

mirrors

how do i say goodbye to somone like you…

so what if i did things right

it’s not how it seemed

i think i can understand

just not what i mean

well it’s um, better now

memories are a haze

but minding the rearview mirror

while driving away

how do i say goodbye

to someone like you

there’s more to that fateful day 

i’m telling the truth

afternoon like we used to spend

and you caught my eye

pretty sure you may have turned your head

glasses reflect summer light

how do i say goodbye  

to someone like you

can’t begin to stop living my life

or telling my truth

pushing back at all the memories today

but minding mirrors while driving away

how do i say goodbye 

to someone like you

can’t begin to stop living my life

or telling my truth

how do i say goodbye

to someone like you

there’s more to that fateful day 

im telling the truth

how do you say goodbye to someone like you?

Ready

ready by sunset sky

“Ready” is a dance track with a hopeful vibe, encouraging you to dream big and gear up for whatever comes your way.

Releases on Spotify Aug. 23

Bandcamp

Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/pmwarner/ready API change on SC. No longer allows previews in WP.

This track flexes a few more production muscles. Annnnnd, exciting to me, bringing a song in under 2:30 (2:29 to be exact!) haha. Anyway you should go listen. It’s short, sweet, and if nothing else, a step further into that “wheatfield” style.

“Wheatfield?” you ask.

“Wheatfield.” I reply, in a warm, reassuring, & seemingly god-like tone.

Then I really lay it on.

“Those rolling hills i call home, carved from glaciers only 10,000 years ago and covered with life. Look over an endless field of wheat dancing in the wind! It’s free, wild and beautiful, it weaves and waves rhythmically and when the sunlight hits just right, you can hear the music.”

Silence (Awed, i’m sure)

Then,

“That, plus I literally make dance music in the middle of a wheat field.”

Profound, right?

Anyway, i like the idea of ‘wheatfield’ dance. it’s authentic, hopeful and straightforward. Just like the region.

Thank you for your support!

Ready Lyrics

are you ready

for the show

or are you ready to go (home?)

instead are you up for a change

are you ready to start again

i welcome in the sunshine

welcome in the dreams

welcome in the visions

a better you and me

are you

you ready to be seen

are you thinking we’ll be scared 

or are you dreaming that we dare

–are you

–are you ready for the scene

i welcome in the sunshine

welcome in the dreams

welcome in the visions

a better you and me

are you…

Until Now

sunset sky until now

Until Now, the latest dance track by Sunset Sky captures the magic of newfound and unexpected connections.

Releases on Spotify Aug 2

Bandcamp

Until Now – Sunset Sky

Production continues to improve and this was one that after eight iterations I finally had to let go. It can be hard to send your creative out into the world. Picasso said something like work is never finished, only abandoned. I always hear something else that can be improved but it becomes time to move on and bring the next idea into being. It’s also a perfect parallel to life in the moment. There are plenty of positive changes but as a cynical optimist, as soon as I’m feeling happy, I begin waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Btw being happy is waaaaaay underrated, and for right now, that’s where I’m at. The music reflects this as #summervibes continue… Enjoy!

Until Now Lyrics

i put my face into the sunlight

like the day that you appeared

now poring over details of life

you were one that was always here

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true

until now 

you wanted to meet after midnight

please tell me that you’ll be there 

we were only searching for life

for other lost souls out there

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true 

i never heard

the “i love you” 

always said

it was misspent youth

until now

hold me closely

talk to me

we might need to hold on

can’t remember when we felt so free

until now

i never had

a chance with you

i never had 

all my dreams come true 

until now

i never heard

the “i love you” 

always said

it was misspent youth

until now

Take the Fall

Take the Fall Sunset Sky

“Take the Fall” is an exploration of friendship, heartbreak, and the lessons we learn through life’s tough moments.

Releases on Spotify June 28

Bandcamp

Take the Fall – Sunset Sky

Take the Fall was created during a tumultuous time. With an upended schedule, I have been fighting to re-insert music into part of the daily routine again. So, it’s been a bit, and I got picky with this one, which can sometimes be problematic, but let’s see what you think!

Take the Fall Lyrics

i’m aware you need to be with the stars

know it’s that kind of age

focused only on your own desires

wouldn’t expect anything else

but you said you’d always be a friend

learned a new lesson here

never thought that when i needed you most

you would all but disappear 

so i’ll take the fall 

i’ll take it all

i’ll take the fall

you know i’ve been played for the fool

unfortunately

maybe i’ll get past this one too

but when you see life like me

regrets become clear as day

know the mistakes already made

still I stuck by you when things got rough

and 

you couldn’t do the same

why does it seem to happen to me 

-why does it fall apart

so why does it have to end

always  

with a broken heart

i hope it comes to us sooner

but no one’s holding our hand

all decisions we have made

and 

have to live with

why does it seem to happen to me 

-why does it fall apart

does it have to end

always 

with  a broken heart

i’ll take the fall

this time ill take the fall

soaked from expected rain

in the end it was no one’s fault 

coz no one else is left to blame

why does it happen to me

so why does it fall apart

does the story have to end

always 

with a broken heart

Hold on Tight by Sunset Sky

Trying to reestablish a routine and consistent songwriting. Hopefully we’re back on track, and I really like this one. On a performance note, the vocals are becoming more and more confident. Minimal editing and starting to hear the various intruments more clearly on the track. I’m happy with it and really hope you enjoy.

Read the rest for more!

Hold on Tight – Diving In

So, dance pop stands out as a genre that blends infectious melodies with relatable lyrics, creating an addictive listening experience. “Hold on Tight” captures the essence of contemporary pop while delving into emotion.

As a result, beats pulsate with energy and lyrics resonate with authenticity. “I’ve got to tell you, been thinking about you all day long,” sets the stage for a narrative of longing. Yearning to connect with someone special but grappling with uncertainty about where to begin.

A Journey of Heartache and Hope

As the song progresses, the intensity builds, fueled by: “You’ve got a stranglehold on me, can’t lie about it. I need you in every possible way.” These words encapsulate the almost grip of love, and the vulnerability that comes with opening one’s heart to another.

But amidst the whirlwind of emotions, there’s a sense of reassurance in the plea to “hold me closely, hold me tight.” It’s a reminder that even in moments of doubt, there’s solace to be found in the embrace of a loved one.

Moving On

Then, second verse of the song serves as a poignant reflection on the challenges of communication in matters of the heart. “Easy to speak, not easy to feel,” acknowledges the disparity between words and emotions.

Yet, in the uncertainty, there’s a glimmer of hope. “I’ll hold you closely if you hold us right, please hold me closely, well hold on tight,” encapsulates the essence of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. It’s a testament to the power of love to overcome obstacles and endure through trials of life.

Here We Go

“Hold on Tight” serves to remind us of the beauty and complexity of human connection, where emotions run deep, love knows no bounds amid highs and lows.

So, as you go back about your day, remember to hold on tight to the ones you love, for in their embrace, you’ll find solace, strength, and the courage to face whatever challenges may come your way.

And, the End

Let the track’s pulsating beats and lyrics wash over you and remember to hold on tight to the ones who matter most.

Hold on Tight – Lyrics

hold on tight

i’ve got to tell you

been thinking about you all day long

i want to know you

but don’t know exactly where to start

i can’t deny it

you’ve got a…

youv’e got a stranglehold on me

can’t lie about it

i need you in every possible way 

then i hear your voice 

and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

just hold me closely

hold me tight

easy to speak

not easy to feel

you’ve got me in in your hands

what can i say…

maybe im just weak that way

but if you let me explain

i know you’ll understand 

i know i’m out of line wth 

all i hope for is to be with you my head goes on days…

i couldn’t tell you 

exactly when or where or

how feelings got this way

then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

here it comes again

then i feel your voice and i feel your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

i’ll hold you closely if you hold us right 

please hold me closely well hold on tight

then i hear your voice

and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

here it comes again

then i feel your voice and i feel your pain

know it all too well

hold me close again

i’ll hold you closely if you hold us right 

please hold me closely 

well hold on tight

and then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

Go On: Encouragment and Perseverance

Go On by Sunset Sky

Go On is about encouragement and perseverance. Change is hard, no matter how many times you do it. But you just might find yourself emerging stronger, more resilient, and ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.You’ve got this! Spotify dropped March 22.

Bandcamp

Go On – Sunset Sky

Go On is dedicated to those who embrace change, no matter how uncomfortable. Also, from a production standpoint… getting better (:

Go On: Encouragment and Perseverance

It’s easy to slip into routine and complacency, but there comes a time when discontent grows too loud to ignore. “Go On” a track of self-realization and renewal, encourages you to break free from conformity and embrace the authenticity of existence.

With the opening chords we’re drawn into a narrative of introspection and defiance. Once content to sleepwalk through life, now at a crossroads, grappling with the realization that existence has been built upon a foundation of falsehoods and pretense. Yet, amidst the turmoil of awakening, there’s a glimmer of hope—a sense of liberation that comes with shedding layers of deception and embracing the truth, no matter how harsh it may be.

“It was kind of nice for a while To sleepwalk through life Enter a world of fake smiles Then come home late at night”

These opening lines set the stage for a journey of self-discovery and resilience.

We acknowledge the allure of illusion, the comfort of conformity, but ultimately we need confront the futility of living a life built upon lies. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever felt trapped within the confines of societal expectations, yearning for something more but unsure of where to begin.

Yet, as the chorus erupts with defiant determination, a newfound sense of empowerment emerges:

“Well I go on It feels so good right now I’m finally free There’s nothing holding me back Except for me”

Here, amidst the driving rhythm and vocals, lies the heart of “Go On.”

It’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to be confined by the expectations of others, who dare to challenge the status quo and carve their own path forward. It’s a reminder that true freedom comes not from external circumstances, but from the courage to confront our inner demons and embrace the fullness our humanity.

Throughout the song, there’s a sense of catharsis—a release of pent-up emotions and a shedding of old skin. Acknowledging the losses incurred along the way, the friendships strained or severed in the pursuit of truth. Yet, amidst the wreckage, there’s a sense of gratitude for those who’ve played a role in their awakening:

“Thank you for waking me I can’t say enough It’s time to fight again The real world—can get rough”

These words serve as a testament to the transformative power of adversity, the crucible through which resilience is forged and character is tested. It’s a recognition that true growth often arises from the ashes of our past selves, as we emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before.

As the song draws to a close, there’s a sense of closure—a final reckoning with the ghosts of the past and a bold declaration of newfound purpose:

“I was going through the motions I finally know it now Brushing off the dust from my jacket Turn my back on what I’ve known”

In these lines, we find the essence of “Go On”—a testament to the power of self-awareness and the courage to embrace change. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there lies the seed of transformation, waiting to be nurtured and cultivated into something beautiful.

In the end, “Go On” represents hope for anyone who’s ever felt lost or disillusioned, a reminder that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there’s always a light waiting to guide us home. So let us heed its call, embrace our awakening, and step boldly into the unknown, for it’s only in the journey of self-discovery that we truly find ourselves.

Go On Lyrics

130 BPM | C Major

it was kind of nice for a while

to sleepwalk through life

enter a world of fake smiles

then come home late at night

i’ve got to be honest here

it was ok for a time

but how long can you go on

living all those fucking lies

well i go on

it feels so good right now

i’m finally free  

there’s nothing holding me back

except for me

it felt so predictable, its the end of the line

i’m getting outside

breaking out of a kind of hell 

that was never mine

i think it ended well

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough

well i go on

i lost good people along the way

but here i stand

scraping off the shit ive stepped in

i hope you understand

life goes on

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough 

was asleep half the time

and now im awake

a pleasant afterthought

to ignoring all the pain

i was going thru the motions

i finally know it now

brushing off the dust from my jacket

turn my back on what i’ve known

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough

Your Time Lyrics

you are the one that i love

that one that i know

you are so beautiful now

this is your world 

this is your time

you’re becoming so used 

to the glare of the light

another one gone

you’ve got the world at your feet

you have all that you need

so where do i fit now

more than two of us

can’t add more to your arc

you’re so fucking on fire

you’re so beautifully made

what are you going to do now

everything has a season

this is your time in the sun

there will always be a reason

you’re the only one

what do you do 

when you’re the top of your game

in control of emotion

this is your world

others can hope 

they can be there someday

but it’s hard in the moment 

here in the silence

when the throne isn’t yours

not acknowledging more

that our fate’s been decided

your moment is growing

you can only move forward

you have a limited time

it’s like controlling the ocean

watching in fascination

i can hear the music

rising in your heart

you’re so fucking beautiful 

it actually tears me apart

tears me apart

it tears me apart

everything has a season

this is your time in the sun

there will always be a reason

you were the only one

everyone gets their moment

you won’t always feel this way

the melody

in your heart

is so fucking beautiful 

tears me apart 

every single sign

in every single way

i know i’m out of time

i know im out of place

never want to let you go

but you must find your way

oh i wish you well

as you fade away

you’re so fucking beautiful 

tears me apart

More Than Love: Exploring an Enigma

more than love


More Than Love takes you on a journey through the realms of desire, questioning love’s boundaries and celebrating its imperfections. With a fusion of emotion and beats, ‘More Than Love’ serves as an anthem of those who dare to embrace the messy, beautiful complexity of human connection. Press play, let go, and immerse yourself. It released on Spotify Oct. 20.

Bandcamp

More Than Love by Sunset Sky

This presented some interesting technical issues. I’ve given up on RMS for now, but from a standpoint of how it sounded on headphones versus studio speakers was concerning. Reeling in the bass with some comp and eq seems to have helped but i still fight a lot with with the high end of guitar (solution – no more guitars haha). I think the ending chorus needed that extra energy though and i didn’t want to dampen it too much. Pushed vocals front and center to the end until they give way to the final wall of sound. Hope you enjoy!

More Than Love: In depth

Dance pop doesn’t typically go deep, so in this blog post, we’ll dissect the lyrics behind this song, aiming to unveil some mystery.

An Elusive Essence

“Try to put my finger on it, but it remains elusive, what is it after all this time?”

The very first line of the song, “More Than Love” sets the tone for an introspective journey. The lyrics reflect the universal human experience of grappling with the indefinable essence of a complex emotion. This theme of ambiguity and yearning for clarity persists throughout the track.

The Seductive Web

“How do you draw me in, into this world of sin, must be out of my f*cking mind?”

In this stanza, the song delves into the irresistibly seductive allure of the unknown. The use of strong language adds a raw intensity to the lyrics, highlighting the intoxicating effect of the subject’s influence. It’s an unapologetic dive into temptation and desire.

The Waiting Game

“So what are we waiting for, push me down on the floor, stay here awhile and be with me.”

Here, the lyrics switch gears, conveying a sense of urgency and impatience. The protagonist’s longing for immediate connection is palpable, mirroring the restless energy of dance music itself. It’s a call to action, inviting the listener to surrender to the rhythm.

Love Beyond Boundaries

“Only have questions when you’re almost ready to send, say it’s not love but so much more.”

This enigmatic line hints at the idea that love transcends conventional boundaries. It challenges traditional definitions of love, suggesting that what’s shared is deeper and more profound. It’s a bold declaration that sets “More Than Love” apart from typical love songs.

Imperfection’s Beauty

“It’s not a perfect circle, it’s messy and out of place, we don’t belong in this world, wouldn’t have it any other way.”

These lines embrace imperfection, celebrating the unconventional and the messy aspects of love. The song’s refusal to conform to societal norms reinforces the idea that true love exists beyond the confines of perfection.

The Window to the Soul

“When I look in your eyes, I can only surmise that there’s still something I can’t see.”

This stanza provides a glimpse into the vulnerability of the protagonist. Even in the depths of connection, there remains an element of mystery, emphasizing the complexity and depth of the emotions at play.

Fantasy or Reality?

“Do we even care, pulling love out of air, or is it just a fantasy?”

The lyrics question the authenticity of the emotions experienced. Is it genuine connection or merely a fleeting fantasy? This ambiguity keeps the listener engaged, provoking contemplation about the nature of love and desire.

The Unique Rhythm of Life

“It’s not a perfect circle, it’s messy and out of place, we don’t belong to this world, wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Reiterating the theme of imperfection, these lines emphasize that the uniqueness love is what makes it special. It’s a celebration of individuality and authenticity.

Beyond Love

“You’ve got to know I’ll ship you, but it’s so much more than love, don’t even know where to place it if a push ever comes to shove.”

The lyrics culminate in a declaration that their connection defies categorization. It’s a sentiment that transcends the limitations of language and societal labels.

The Conclusion

“It’ll never be so simple that we’ll ever want to explain to anyone else outside us, push me down on that floor again.”

The song concludes by affirming love is a deeply personal and inexplicable experience, one that can never be fully articulated to outsiders. The urge to return to the dance floor represents a desire to continue exploring this enigmatic love.

In “More Than Love,” the fusion of intricate lyrics and pulsating beats creates an immersive experience that challenges conventional norms and invites listeners to ponder the complexities of human connection. It’s a testament to the power of music to convey emotions that often elude words, making it a true gem in the dance pop genre. So, if you haven’t already, dive into the world of “More Than Love” and let its mysteries wash over you.

Lyrics:

More Than Love

try to put my finger on it

but it remains elusive

what is it after all this time

how do you draw me in

into this world of sin

must be out of my fucking mind

so what are we waiting for

push me down on the floor

stay here awhile and be with me

only have questions when

you’re almost ready to send

say its not love but so much more

it’s not a perfect circle  

it’s messy and out of place

we don’t belong in this world

wouldn’t have it any other way

when i look in your eyes

i can only surmise

that theres still something

i can’t see

do we even care 

pulling love out of air

or is it just a fantasy

it’s not a perfect circle 

it’s messy and out of place

we don’t belong to this world

wouldn’t have it any other way

you’ve got to know i’ll ship you

but its so much more than love

don’t even know where to place it

if a push ever comes to shove

it’ll never be so simple

that we’ll ever want to explain

to anyone else outside us

push me down on that floor again

try to put my finger on it

but it remains elusive

after all it’s more than love

Say Goodbye – Sunset Sky

omg – I am so tired of reading about loudness. Everyone has an opinion on how to optimize this for different platforms – and I have not cracked the code yet. At first it seems to be LUFS, but that’s out the window. Now it’s RMS and keeping that at a level that doesn’t make the track too quiet in parts and have dynamic range is – well something else.

You may be asking yourself, why in the f*** does this matter? Well, allow me to explain. (: Your ears perceive louder as better. Platforms like Spotify do something called normalizing which is supposed to even out the listening experience (except of course, when a commercial suddenly booms versus the song, show or podcast you’re listening to). So, when the tracks I produce go up against other professional tracks on Spotify, they sound weak, like the original mix, rather than a polished and at least competitively LOUD master.

Additional context: I can run RMS at the optimal -12 for good chunks of the track but with any dynamics – like a killer last chorus, there’s just no way. Is the option to just make the whole song loud and minimize dynamic range? More clipping? I’ve got Linear EQ, Compression, Saturation, Multipress a tiny bit of Spread on lock (I believe). And yes, I leave a little breathing space when mastering – doesn’t go all the way to 0db. 

If anyone can truly help out with this, please get in touch. Everything out there contradicts each other. In the meantime, Soundcloud does not turn down the level, so you can listen to the master in all its original glory.

For a deep dive into the track. Read on. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy!

Say Goodbye – Lyrics

in these last moments with you

i don’t know what to do

we’re holding on by a thread

and a kiss

every little thing we’ve done

we swore we’d never tell no one

but inside we both know we couldn’t resist

when you turn to face the sun

i never shared with anyone

all i have is secrets of our past

i don’t start by thinking of ends

but now that your message is sent

didn’t think we’d follow through with any of this

i never thought I’d see the day arrive

never thought I’d feel this way inside | never thought our journey would ever end | never thought i’d say goodbye

all these blurry scenes of you survive

they’ll always be playing in my mind

dancing in the warm rain through the night

—guess I’m leaving that film behind

So
say 

goodbye

i never thought id see the day arrive

never thought id feel this way inside | never thought our journey would ever end | never thought i’d say goodbye

salty warm tears rolling down my face

hoping time stops in a moment of grace

nothing changes and we’re standing still

and i never 

say goodbye

can’t ever describe the times with you

desert sun autumn rains we’ve been thru

your spirit shines and honestly

i can never ever say goodbye

often thought we’d always say good night

always thought id see you by my side

and now as you slowly walk away

never thought i’d say goodbye

in these last moments with you

i don’t know what to do

holding on by a thread 

and a kiss
