[Verse 1]
It's the bottom of the bottle
The stagger in your step
The empty scattered on the floor
It's the final cigarette
The closing of the check
The neon goin' dark above the door

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye again
It's time, it's time, it's time
So long, farewell, God speed my friend
Sweet sorrows overdue, yeah
You know it's time for a goodbye too

[Verse 2]
It's an awkward conversation
When there's nothin' left to say
It's the shuffle and the shifty eyes
It's the pause before we answer
And the stutter when we do
It's the glimmer of the truth we try to hide

[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye again
It's time, it's time, it's time
So long, farewell, godspeed my friend
Sweet sorrows overdue, yeah
You know it's time for a goodbye too

[Bridge]
It's killing time that's killing me
Too many places to go
And people to see, oh yeah

[Verse 3]
It's a common ceremony
Dress it however you like
Right or wrong, it's just the way it is
People come together
People come apart
But the end is always better with a kiss
[Chorus]
It's time to say goodbye again
It's time, it's time, it's time
So long, farewell, godspeed my friend
Sweet sorrows overdue, yeah
You know it's time for a goodbye too
You know it's time for a goodbye too
