American Aquarium - Gone Long Gone lyrics
[American Aquarium - Gone Long Gone lyrics]
I've spent my whole life
Runnin' from the truth
Blamed it on the women and I
Blamed it on the booze
When you want what you ain't got
You lose what you do
And she'll be gone, long gone
I've set fire to bridges just
To watch them come undone
Fought so many battles
And yet a single war I've won
Why play the game when you know the outcome?
She'll be gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be comin' back
Naw she ain't ever coming back
I've been known to let my
Pride get in the way
Of sayin' the important things she
Needed me to say
Like tellin' her "I'm sorry babe
Let's try it your way"
Now she's gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be comin' back
No she ain't ever coming back
Now I'm left to think about
What might have been
If I'd have only listened to
Her and tried to comprehend
Not takin' her for granted
Time and time again
She won't be gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
I know one day she won't be comin' back
No she ain't ever coming back
No she ain’t ever comin' back
Runnin' from the truth
Blamed it on the women and I
Blamed it on the booze
When you want what you ain't got
You lose what you do
And she'll be gone, long gone
I've set fire to bridges just
To watch them come undone
Fought so many battles
And yet a single war I've won
Why play the game when you know the outcome?
She'll be gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be comin' back
Naw she ain't ever coming back
I've been known to let my
Pride get in the way
Of sayin' the important things she
Needed me to say
Like tellin' her "I'm sorry babe
Let's try it your way"
Now she's gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
And I know one day she won't be comin' back
No she ain't ever coming back
Now I'm left to think about
What might have been
If I'd have only listened to
Her and tried to comprehend
Not takin' her for granted
Time and time again
She won't be gone, long gone
Gone like the nights we would lie awake
Talkin’ to the sun supposed to be
I know one day she won't be comin' back
No she ain't ever coming back
No she ain’t ever comin' back
