Brandi Carlile - Gone lyrics

Life is too short to waste all your time
Running too quickly to the finish line
Time is a trap, it's ready and set
And the longer you live
The closer you get to being

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget

There's no guarantees or promise of wealth
When you're only allowed so much
Time on the shelf
Time isn't money, it's only a lie
Because everything lost can be found
But your time when you're

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget

So live in doubt, live in fear
And you might live forever
Or live it up and watch your back
And you might live for better

Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget
