Before The Streetlights – Goodnight, Goodbye lyrics
As you call to say goodnight
As you put your eyes to sleep
Just know I’m looking at the stars in the sky
Can you count them back to me

So make the call if you need someone tonight
I’ll fake the words that make you feel so right
I’ll keep you on the line until I get back home
I want you but I’m doing this alone

And this is how I feel alive
I’m so far above you like stars in the sky
This is how I live my life
Searching for answers that you can’t provide
My heads in the Midwest, my hearts in L.A.
I’m stuck in the middle and I can’t get away
This how I feel alive
So next time you call me I’ll end us with “Goodnight, Goodbye”

I know my words burn like a shot of whiskey
Miles away but I’m in your head
Staying back home was gonna haunt me
So leaving is what I needed
I hope you know that I’m not running away
So don’t chase after me

And this is how I feel alive
I’m so far above you like stars in the sky
This is how I live my life
Searching for answers that you can’t provide
My heads in the Midwest, my hearts in L.A.
I’m stuck in the middle and I can’t get away
This how I feel alive
So next time you call me I’ll end us with “Goodnight, Goodbye”

Your bed will become my coffin someday
I promised you that I would make it ‘til then
I’m a product of dumb youth and stupid mistakes
That gave me happiness and took it away
But I never felt more alive
Than when I found the part that I’ve been missing most my life

And this is how I feel alive
I’m so far above you like stars in the sky
This is how I live my life
Searching for answers that you can’t provide
My heads in the Midwest, my hearts in L.A.
I’m stuck in the middle and I can’t get away
This how I feel alive
So next time you call me I’ll end us with “Goodnight, Goodbye”

    "My head's in the midwest, my heart's in L.A.
    I'm stuck in the middle and I can't get away"
    This part really resonates with me for some reason. For me, I feel like this lyric is talking about wanting to escape, be somewhere else, but rationally knowing that leaving everything behind and starting a new life is unrealistic. Having to decide on the rational thing (midwest) or to follow maybe unrealistic dreams (L. A.) and not knowing what to do, so in the end just feeling trapped in between two decisions, being pulled in different directions but never actually going anywhere. That's just me though, I feel like this line could be interpreted differently to everyone. That's part of what I love about smaller bands like this; when you look up the lyrics to a popular song that is meaningful to you, you're bombarded by other peoples' opinions on what the song is about, and it dilutes whatever meaning it has to you personally and ends up not meaning as much as it did before.
    Anyway, I love this song! All the lyrics are awesome and deep. And I love Before the Streetlights!
