lyrics
GONE
this song may never reach its destination
this song may never rise into the air
this song is just a private conversation
I was hoping that someday you’d want to share
but we float above in thought balloons
convalescing in our empty rooms
mishearing words in each and every line
down along a lonely track
she’s rolling dice to win him back
but he’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
this song might count as a confession
this song has photos I’d pay to suppress
this song don’t advocate you playing with matches
but the pension fund is just sitting there
this song is just a signal flare
a hail mary hanging in the air
a base attempt to get make you look again
but you’re waiting for the governor’s midnight call
or someone else to climb your prison wall
and I just can’t get out of bed
this song is the wit at the bottom of the staircase
this song is just weighing on your mind
down along a lonely track
she’s rolling dice to win him back
but he’s gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
if these were actual events if I were actual size
if I were closer than I appear in the mirror
I might attempt to take you for a ride
we might take us some liberties
explore the possibilities
or just disappear into the air
down along a lonely track
she’s rolling dice to win him back
but he’s gone and she can’t say where
if I could bring you near
if I were actually here
I could tell you every dream in my heart
but you keep flipping through the radio dial
ticking off the endless miles
this song is feeding quarters in the jukebox
this song is just crying in its beer
down along a lonely track
she’s rolling dice to win him back
where he’s gone
well, it’s just not clear
if I could bring you near
if I was actually here
I could tell you every dream in my heart
but you keep flipping through the radio dial
ticking off the endless miles
gone gone gone
