Goodnight,  goodnight, the  sun is long out of sight
And  I stagger home by the  streetlight
 Goodnight, goodnight, went out after work tonight
 Only meant to stay for a swift pint
 And I'm giving you a call though I'm in no fit state
 And I know it's far too late
 And I'm hardly thinking straight
 'Cos I've missed you ever since you moved away from here
 And it's not the same this year
 I wish I could teleport you here tonight to say ..
Goodnight soulmate, I  know I'm in no  state
To  call you up and keep  you up so late
 But I had to hear you talking in my ear
 I've been so lonely since you left me here
 So goodnight, I'm back in through the door now
 Here we go bouncing down the hall now
 Goodnight, goodnight soulmate, oh but if you were here tonight
 We could climb up through the skylight
 Remember lying in your attic on those summer nights
 Our hands trembling side by side
 Those were the best days of my whole life
 And now I know you're moving on and I've been trying too
 Trying not to speak to you
 But I still can't sleep here without you to wish me a ..
 And I've got my friends  but I can't really  talk to them
 x4
 Like I can talk to you
 Remember how we used to stay up very very late and smoke
 And listen did I say how much I miss you now?
 I'm keeping you from sleeping now
 I only called to wish you could be here tonight
 To hold me while I'm wishing you a ..
 Goodnight soulmate, I know I'm in no state
 To call you up and keep you up so late
