Lyrics

Goodbye Leopold

I think it’s time we had that talk, the one we both keep putting off
We’ll lay out all the things unsaid and gently put them all to bed
There’s a wrinkle in the tablecloth, I slowly smooth it out because
I can’t fall into impressions left by all the sleeping giants in my head

Goodbye Leopold
I smile much more with you so I’m told
But the taste that lingers on my tongue
Tears me apart and I come undone
Goodbye Leopold

When I’m with you, I lose sight of what is wrong and what I know is right
Once you’re in my veins, I’m twice past the point of feeling the pain

Goodbye Leopold
I smile much more with you so I’m told
But the taste that lingers on my tongue
Tears me apart and I come undone
Goodbye Leopold

I know there’s another cup waiting for you to fill them up
I should warn them but, you see, chances are they’re just like me

Goodbye Leopold
I smile much more with you so I’m told
But the taste that lingers on my tongue
Tears me apart and I come undone
Goodbye Leopold
