lyrics

An empty pack of cigarettes and two red swollen eyes.
Flying back to Melbourne underneath these cold, grey skies.
Engines crying, rain is falling heavy and I know why
There’s sixteen hours and I cannot forget all of her goodbyes.

I tried to pack away these memories, keep them out of sight
Thinking hard how I can keep them steady and alive.
So I just count them all the way, keep a tally in my mind.
There’s sixteen hours and I cannot forget all of her goodbyes.

The sight of her would make me want to wring my hands and cry
I close up tight and sit and feel the plane begin to rise.
When I think about her I can feel the pain inside.
There’s sixteen hours and I cannot forget all of her goodbyes.

If she was sitting here beside me she’d lean over me and sigh
She’d say “Hold your memories close and your memories will never die.”
So I just count them all the way, keep a tally in my mind.
There’s sixteen hours and I cannot forget all of her goodbyes.

I might as well be flying to the moon as any sky
Distance means everything because distance never lies.
I held her once, I kissed her, now I’m flying higher and higher.
There’s sixteen hours and I cannot forget all of her goodbyes.
