[Verse 1: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour, Casey Calvert]
Bleed these colors open wide
Burning blues from butterflies
Tonight we, tonight we fly
Flying faster through the night
Until the orange of morning light
Dear black goodbye, dear black goodbye!

[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
I know it's hard to make this work when you're all alone
Alone!

[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
And I've been waiting for so long to hold you in my arms
Embrace forever, my sweet girl

[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Water fills these open eyes
Tonight we fly!
Still frames and valentines
Won't keep me in her mind
Dear black goodbye! (dear black goodbye)

[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
I know it's hard to make this work when you're all alone
Alone!
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
And I've been waiting for so long to hold you in my arms
Embrace forever, my sweet girl
And I've been waiting for so long to hold you in my arms
Embrace forever, my sweet girl

[Bridge: JT Woodruff, Grace Carli]
You are the ghost of everything that I'm not and I want to be
You are the ghost (you are the ghost) of everything (of everything) that I'm not (that i'm not and want to be) and I want to be

[Ad-Libs: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert, Casey Calvert]
Dear black goodbye
Don't forget to write your name inside (goodbye!) of my life

[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff with Casey Calvert]
I know it's hard to make this work when you're all alone!

[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
I've been waiting for so long to hold you in my arms
And I've been waiting for so long to hold you in my arms
Embrace forever, my sweet girl
