Verse
Platform lights are humming gold
The 5:15 train yawns and slows
Your suitcase wheels catch every crack
I'm memorizing your jacket's back
Steam curls up from a paper cup
Neither one of us drinks it up
Pre-Chorus
So don't just wave from the window seat
Don't let this turn into something neat
If this is really goodbye tonight
Chorus
Then say it like you mean it
Let it shake a little, let it break the calm
Say it like you mean it
Hold my face like a lantern in your palm
We can cry and still be radiant
We can lose the map and still find land
So say it like you mean it
Before the whistle blows, before the sun
Say it like you mean it
Verse
Six months of postcards, borrowed time
A phone that rings on foreign time
You said the ocean sounds the same
No matter what we call this pain
The ticket stub is turning soft
I'll keep it folded in my loft
Pre-Chorus
So don't just wave from the window seat
Don't let this turn into something neat
If this is really goodbye tonight
Chorus
Then say it like you mean it
Let it shake a little, let it break the calm
Say it like you mean it
Hold my face like a lantern in your palm
We can cry and still be radiant
We can lose the map and still find land
So say it like you mean it
Before the whistle blows, before the sun
Say it like you mean it
Bridge
Maybe leaving isn't losing
Maybe roots can learn to fly
Every ending's just beginning
Wearing borrowed clothes, saying goodbye
I'll carry you in every harbor light
I'll find you underneath a different sky
Chorus
So say it like you mean it
Let it shake a little, let it break the calm
Say it like you mean it
Hold my face like a lantern in your palm
We can cry and still be radiant
We can lose the map and still find land
So say it like you mean it
Before the whistle blows, before the sun
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
