Lyrics

Goodnight

Look outside at the moonlight Please, don't cry for me I don't want to fight Why don't you behave like me

I know you're far away But I can feel you next to me I know you're far away But I can feel your energy Feel your energy

I just took this white line Took the stress of me I didn't want to try I'm not everything you see

Yea Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, yea

Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight yea

Look outside at the moonlight We always sleep at three Working day and night Why don't you behave like me

I know you're far away But I can feel you next to me I know you're far away But I can feel your energy

I just took this white line Took the stress of me I didn't want to try I'm not everything you see

Yea Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, yea

Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight yea

Look outside at the sunlight *****, don't cry for me I don't want to die Why don't you behave like me

Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, yea

Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight yea

Goodnight, yea Goodnight, yea Goodnight

About the song

Moonlight is outside, but there is no easy rest inside this song. There is a plea not to cry, a wish to stop fighting, and a strange closeness to someone far away. Goodnight holds those feelings together without settling them. Distance does not stop the sense that someone is right there, yet comfort keeps giving way to stress. The white line offers a way to take that stress off, while the admission that appearances do not tell the whole truth leaves something else unsaid.

The repeated goodnight sounds simple at first, like the last words before sleep. But with work stretching through day and night, and sleep coming late, it begins to feel less settled. Then moonlight turns to sunlight, and the wish not to fight becomes a wish not to die. That small change gives the goodbye more weight. The song ends with the same word still returning, somewhere between a gentle farewell and a need for the night to finally be over.
