Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Goodbye, goodbye
  • Every memory of walking out the front door
  • I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
  • It's hard to say it, time to say it

Echo the hook

  • Look at this photograph
  • Every time I do, it makes me laugh
  • How did our eyes get so red?
  • And what the hell is on Joey's head?
goodbyeeverytime
