This girl looks me dead in the eye/
She's not a fan of touch/

Thigh/
Was this your de-si-i-ign?/
Do you know touch is/
Mine?/
Your hand's on my thigh/ (X8)
And I will never touch you/
Unless you ask me to/
Show me how to show you/
That you rarely leave my mind/
Help me gauge/
Before old age/
Your love language/
Flirt with me/
And say you're joking/
Shoot a look/
That leaves me choking/
On the words/

Irish goodbye/
Irish goodbye/
I wish that I/
Had just been/
Polite/
Blood on my knees/ (X8)
"I tripped as I ran/
And the street gave me/
A kiss"/
Slid on concrete/ (X6)

For an Irish Goodbye/
To run/
Away....!/
"Irish goodbye"/
Irish goodbye/
I'd rather fly (I...don't....want....you...!)/
Than tell one more (I...can't....BEAR....TO!)/
LIE!!/
All you see's cement/
Qui-ckly turn your head/
And see the bridge/
See the bridge/
Oh, oh, oh/
If you run across/
Follow the river all the/
Way home/
All the/
Wa-a-ay home/
If you see the bridge/
You/
Can run across the bridge/
And if/
You see the bridge/
You should take your chance with it/
But catch/
Each drop of blood/
'Cause wolves/
Are good at tracking it/
And you/
Can't leave a trail/
To lead him back to your betrayal/ (X2)
Irish goodbye!/
Irish goodbye!/
I wish that I!/
Had just been/
Polite!/

My heart can't take/
One more FREAKING slice/
Please just treat me nice/
Please just treat me nice/
He will be nice/
And he's taller than me/
Oh he/
Oh he-e-e-e/
He is alive/
And I'll find him someday/
Oh...yay/
If I can just survive/
Every other man/
I've ever met/
Fuck./

Olympia/
I promise when I'm through/
Pretending that I'm too good for you/
I'll come back home/
I'll come back home/
I'll come back ho-o-o-ome/
Ooo-ooo-oooh/
Olympia/
I had to walk the world/

You can/
Forgive me/

Those are/
The only/
Bright lights/
That matter anymore/

Never gonna see that boy again/
Never as a lover and never as a friend/
Never gonna see that boy again/
So get used to that pit/
Never gonna/
Never gonna/
Uh-nuh-uh/ (X6)
Never, never, never, NEVER!/
NO-O-O-O!/
NO-O-O-O!/
Never gonna see that boy again/
Never as a lover and never as a friend/
Never gonna see that boy again/
So get used to that pit/
Never gonna see that boy again (never gonna see that boy)/
In the sheets or in the mirror/
Best to make that hope forbidden/
Never gonna see that boy again (never gonna see that boy)/
So get used to that ache/
Never, never, NEVER!/ (NO-O-O-O!) (X2)
NEVER GONNA!/
NEVER GONNA!/
NEVER GONNA SEE HIM!/
NEVER!/
EVER AGAIN!
Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna, NEVER/
NO-O-O!/
My best friend is trying to teach me/
To hold on to love/
With an open palm/
But that feels wrong/
So when I say/
"I'm never gonna see that boy again"/
It's not that I don't want to/
It's just that I need to end/
Things on my own terms/
It's the lesser of two hurts/
So I repeat/
Never gonna see that boy again/
My vision boards are pointless and/
My mantras have no zen/
Never gonna see that boy again/
Then push the rest away/
Never gonna see that boy again (never gonna see that boy)/
There's no God that you can pray to/
And no letter you can send/
Never gonna see that boy again (never gonna see that boy)/
Even though you definitely will/
