Lyrics

Bye for Now

[Chorus: Thundercat]

Maybe we say bye for now

But I can't let go

You call me back and it brings me to my knees

I can give you what you want

And when it's said and done

There's always room for memories

There's nothing left to give

[Verse 1: Thundercat]

I remind that time will slip away

I know that there's no guarantees

But we still can dream and be in your deepest thoughts

I hope that you can find a way to let it go

Then we can move on

[Verse 2: Michael McDonald]

Do these dreams go anywhere?

Don't say I didn't care

And though it hurts to say goodbye

I know what love is for me

And if it's not bad for you

Leave alone what we could do

[Chorus: Thundercat & Michael McDonald, Both]

Maybe we say bye for now

But I can't let go

You call me back and it brings me to my knees (Give)

I can give you what you want

Then when said it's and done

There's always room for memories (Ooh, ooh)

There's nothing left to give (Nothing left to give you)
