Irish Goodbye - Stephen Kellogg

Remember when we got high behind the house

By the garage so the kids would not find out?

The cat’s on Prozac and no one seems to care

The party’s packed but you feel like no one’s there

You were born with everything you need

So, wear that heart of yours on both your sleeves

A mother’s holding her baby on the plane

The kid is crying, the businessman complains

You hear the whispers and see the eye rolls too

I guess we all got some growing up to do

You were born with everything you need

So, wear that heart of yours on both your sleeves

They’ll get the best and worst of you

There’ll be some days that you can’t get through

But please, wear that heart of yours on both your sleeves

You give your heart to someone because it’s yours to give

And only when they break it do you realize what you did

There is a sword that’s hanging right above all our heads

It is suspended, it is suspended, it is suspended by a spider web

So, check your phone every minute for an hour

Irish goodbye, the greatest superpower

You were born with everything you need

So, wear that heart of yours on both your sleeves

You have got the best and worst of me

So, wear that heart of yours on both your sleeves

Both your sleeves

Both your sleeves

Both your sleeves
