Lyrics
A
the party winds down
we say our goodbyes (goodbye)
was nice to meet ya
have a good night (let’s hug)
after our hug I move away from you,
but you move the same way too (and now we’re awkward baby)
B
so many things to talk about but why can’t i think of one
it’s not like i don’t know you but why does it feel so wrong
i’ve walked this pavement many times but why’s it feel so long
my brain says break the tension so i just whistle a song
that did not help at all
maybe if i fake a phone call
maybe if i stare at the ground
or look all around
or maybe i should make polite sounds
T
the longest goodbye is the hardest
how long do i look you in the eye (so uncomfortable)
are you going that way
what else can i say
do i have to say goodbye again
its the longest goodbye
A
see you round Bsee you round
Aokay
B
alrightAthis is my bus stop
Bthis is mine too
Aoh
B+A
wow the weather’s reallyso where do you
Byou go firstAit’s okay
Bno you go first
A
I forgot what I wanted to say
B
my bus pulls up, i get up,
but she gets up at the same time
and my introvert inside is going AAAAHHHAand there’s nowhere to hide, once we get on the rideand i’m starting to get some fishy vibes
B
please don’t be a talker
A
please don’t be a stalker
I got an exit plan but I gotta think fast
BAnymore of this torture, I swear I’m gonna combust, so I say
TUh uh - this one not my bus
The longest goodbye is the hardest
Of course we’re sharing the same cab (what are the freakin’ odds)
i’m just counting down til’ i’m alone
for now i’m doing nothin’ on my phone (phone cutaways) It’s the longest good byeyeyeyeye
Of course he/she’s getting off with meB
i step in the lift and i say goodbye
but you step in too, now i wanna die
cause it sounds like
A“i’m on level 7. you’re on level 7 t-“(ben nods)
“- of course you are.”
B: well this me
A: well this is me tooB: huh, woulda thought
A: that you live here too
B: … it’s nice to meet y-
A: hey are you a creep?
B: ew. no i just think it’s funny
(they start circling each other)
A: that we were at the same party
B: and we knew each other hardly
A: bro, who are you?
B: k. anyWay i’mma hit the hayA: hold on a minute i just wanna say, this been way too awkward for an average dayB: okay, lady, trust me, i’m just going home, this is all by chance,
A: see i’m all alone,
B: don’t get it overblown this is not that susA: it was already weird way before the bus
B: let’s just agree to disagree, it’s a statistical anomaly
A: okay (eyes him) goodnight
B: goodnight
B
so I’m actually an assassin (no way)
i’m sort of like a top secret spy (a name card?)
this really is your last goodbye
any final words before you die?
A
Surprise I’m also an assassin
It’s crazy how we had the same plan (what the?)
Now this long ass night can finally end -
B
I’ve also got a blow dart (are you kidding)
I made it from your metal straw -
A
Jokes on you I rig all my straws, I -
E
The longest goodbye is the hardest (it was all my plan!)
I spiked both your drinks from the start (we were both played)
i made you follow each other everywhere
it’s an Tintrovert’s worst nightmare
It’s the longest goodbye
A:I guess… I guess this is goo-
B:
g-goo-goodb-

the fact that annette was pregnant while filming this video shows how much dedication she has to her music career

[@theadventurer1602]

I have not stopped liking Benjamin ever since his debut with the Sam Willow years ago though sadly, the group was slightly underrated in this country. :( I like and kudos to the hard works and efforts that he sincerely put in for his music career and it is bearing good fruits! Incidentally Ben's dad was my direct boss many many years ago in the international petrochemical company that we worked for, and he is truly an honourable and righteous man that values doing the right thing (rarity these days in the corporate scene), and always have the interest of his staff in mind. Good characteristic and values run in the family. Looking forward to a Sam Willow's reunion! 👍👍

[@vadrcookingvlog]

Nice sharing 🙏🙏✅

[@jhuang]

Plot twist on point. bye.

[@gohkenny]
