Lyrics

Xerces

Universe surrounds, when you're ready It waits for us to, to leave this earth Come on, they're calling your name out I don't know I could stay or leave Either way 'Cause the comet can take us All the way through Goodbye, same heaven New, new world I'll be waving Goodbye, same heaven New, new world I'll be waving, goodbye Reason to see, everything looks the same I don't know if the change made was great 'Cause the craving remains the same Goodbye, same heaven New, new world I'll be waving Goodbye, same heaven New, new world I'll be waving (Goodbye) I'll be waving I'll be waving (Goodbye) I'll be waving I'll be waving (Goodbye) I'll be waving I'll be waving I'll be waving, goodbye
