never gonna say goodbye

Dawes

I never could admit when I was wrong, man
Even when I felt it in my bones
I always thought it meant I was a strong man
And I wondered why I was alone

That s when she stepped out of the ether
Right when I was ready for a dance
She said I don t know what I am doing either
But I know when to take a chance

I never knew how to be scared
Til I found something I knew I couldn t lose
And then a revelation trembled
Behind the tip of my own tongue

And like the last few boys at the Alamo
Like Cusack holding that stereo
Or what Juliet hears from Romeo
I m never gonna say goodbye

There s not a way to someone s heart that she can t see
She lives and loves with everything she s got
My dark days showed me how to ask
Why me?
She s shown me how to ask
Why not?

She keeps a hopeful eye upon the future
She finds a way to share that hope with me
And the few times that she s met some sort of failure
She wins a little back by laughing at defeat

I never knew what life could be
So it stands to reason why I can t go back
And now a revelation trembles
From the bottom of my heart

And like the stock exchange for the billionaires
Like the convert singing his morning prayer
Or the scientist to the polar bear
I m never gonna say goodbye

Like those last few boys at the Alamo
Like Cusack holding that stereo
Or what Juliet hears from Romeo
I m never gonna say
Don t make me say
I m never gonna say goodbye
