Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Coffee’s getting cold between us
Same table
Different towns
You’re staring through the window
I’m staring at the ground
We talk about the weekend
About a show we used to love
Every word is careful now
Like we’re walking around us
[Chorus]
When is the last right time to say goodbye?
Is it this slow fade out
Or one clean line?
Do we wait one more day
For a clearer sign?
I don’t know how to leave you
I don’t know how to try
I’m stuck in the doorway
Of you and goodbye
[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s on the chair still
But your suitcase learned the door
You’re laughing at my stories
Like you’ve heard them all before
We cancel all our plans now
Then blame it on the rain
We used to run to meet each other
Now we walk the other way
[Chorus]
When is the last right time to say goodbye?
Is it this slow fade out
Or one clean line?
Do we wait one more day
For a clearer sign?
I don’t know how to leave you
I don’t know how to try
I’m stuck in the doorway
Of you and goodbye
[Bridge]
Do we hold on
Out of habit?
Call it love
Call it static (oh)
If we’re both aching in the silence
Why’s it so hard to be honest?
[Chorus]
When is the last right time to say goodbye?
Is it this slow fade out
Or one clean line?
Do we wait one more day
For a clearer sign?
I don’t know how to leave you
I don’t know how to try
So we sit here in the middle
Of you and goodbye
