My dog, "Celie", died overnight and this was the last song I sung to her, "say goodnight n go" were my last words to her before she died. This song means a lot to me...I love and miss you Celie, I really do.
No r.e.m was his favorite. The song could very possibly be about Mac, but I think she got emotional because it’s honestly a very bittersweet song for her, lyrically
Tell me why you gotta look at me that way You know what it does to me So baby, what you tryna say? Ayy Lately, all I want is you on top of me You know where your hands should be So baby, won't you come show me? Mmm I got you, I got you dreamin' (oh) You close your eyes and you're screamin' (oh) Play with your mind for no reason I know you love how I tease it (oh, oh) You know that I'm playin', so don't be mistaken You already know what I'm thinkin', boy Oh, why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, ah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well Just say goodnight and go Oh, oh, oh Just say goodnight and go Oh, oh, oh Just say goodnight and go One of these days You'll miss your train and come stay with me (It's always say goodnight and go) We'll have drinks and talk about things And any excuse to stay awake with you And you'd sleep here, I'd sleep there But then the heating may be down again (At my convenience) We'd be good, we'd be great together Why'd you have to be so cute? It's impossible to ignore you, ah Why must you make me laugh so much? It's bad enough we get along so well Just say goodnight and go Oh, oh, oh Just say goodnight and go I know how you want it, baby, just like this (Oh, oh, oh) Know you're thinking' 'bout it, baby, just one kiss (Just say goodnight and go) While you're lookin' at 'em, baby, read my lips I know what you want, but you can't have this Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da Want to say goodnight Want to say goodnight and go Want to say goodnight Baby, say goodnight and go Want to say goodnight Say goodnight and go

POV: You're in your room, holding a nice cup of hot chocolate whilst sitting next to the window. You took a nice view of what's outside the window. Droplets of rain slowly slipping down on your window. It was so peaceful and quiet. A few moments later, you realized that it's been a while since you and your ex-boyfriend broke up. You took a sip of your hot chocolate and leaned on the window, not noticing your tears fall from your not so reddish eyes. You made a laugh that's filled with the sadness you've been holding on to recently. You sighed and said, "I don't wanna say goodnight n go. I still love you. I want you back. I beg of you, please." After that, tears dripped and rushed down on your cheeks, hands gripping tight on your cup of chocolate, still kept bragging that you still want him back.
i commented something like a year ago, but now its almost 3am and i was just finishing the song. towards the end of the song when shes like “wanna say goodnight, wanna say goodnight n go”, i started to hear “wanna say goodnight uncle”
Well, this song is a sampled version that shares the same title of the original one Ariana did as as inspiration from her favourite singer, Imogen Heap. :)
Yes! I actually listened to Imogen's before Ariana's, which is how I know that. I like both versions equally, but I think I listen to Ari's more? (I've never counted, so I wouldn't know. XD)
