How Do You Say Goodbye?

Engineers are a British shoegazing/dream pop band. The band was formed in London in 2003 by singer/guitarist Simon Phipps, bassist/guitarist/keyboardist Mark Peters, bassist/guitarist Dan MacBean, and drummer Andrew Sweeney. After the release of their second album Three Fact Fader in 2009, MacBean and Sweeney left the band, and were replaced by Ulrich Schnauss, bassist Daniel Land, and drummer Matthew Linley. Engineers' sound has been described as "hazy, ethereal, and atmospheric," and the band often cites the works of Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins, Spiritualized, and Pink Floyd as influences. more »

How do you say goodbye
To an old friend
You don't want to know

How do you wave goodbye
To a new friend
When you don't want to leave

[chorus]

Craving times ahead
Keeps me hungry every day
With this bitter rush
I can slowly drift ahead
To deal in life instead
Keeps me hung by your sole hand
With a single wish
I can slowly drift ahead

Why do we trade fine lines
For a real truth 
We don't want to know

Why did we break our ties
With our old friends
When they don't want to grow

[chorus]

Would you dare 
Would you dare fall flat on your face
Get your answer approved
By the state
By the state of friends of that you knew
A friend who went through
