In Between Our First Hello and Our Last Goodbye Lyrics

When the sunset on our morning without warning

And breakfast lunch and dinner burned to ash

We burst the red balloon of all our wishes

With a sword of checkbooks credit cards and cash

You looked inside your soul of tortured reason

And found the strength to build another smile

I looked inside my soul of lust and anger

And found the strength to live another trial

I remember screaming loudly at the ceiling

While you froze another beer and touched the sky

In between our very last hello dear

And the chill that laced our very first goodbye

As we finished off the last thing that we started

By the edge of an unending piece of pain

The laughter turned the tears into a river

That was swelling from a cold October rain

You tried to tell me twice how I still loved you

I refused to listen to your empty praise

We came and went by accident on purpose

And consequently went our separate ways

It was just like breaking up a perfect pattern

Or cutting out the retina from my eye

In between our very last hello dear

And the chill that laced our very first goodbye

I talked to you about the lack of silence

Your arms embraced the tension in my limbs

We never found the common ground or freedom

That it takes to make a symphony of hymns

You tried to save the melting icy sculpture

That was once our perfect romance but you drown

The fire kept on welding us together

But together we lay useless on the ground

I remember moving furniture and love songs

From our house of broken dreams that went awry

In-between our very last hello dear

And the chill that laced our very first goodbye

In between our very last hello dear

And the chill that laced our very first goodbye
