I’ll Be Gone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was a long hot summer day We're in the living room watching the light drain away And you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn She said, "The first time you show me your true heart, I'll be gone." [Chorus] I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone [Verse 2] The numb ringin' after the bell was rung Playing Red Light, Green Light, such timeless fun And there's no way to kick-start any conversation It's like the beginning of 2001, when she said [Chorus] I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] The air isn't moving and the women have nothing on their lips But the kind of breath that you keep for the hospital bed Pregnant with the timeless drop and the wind The air leaches the gold outta everything elusive and stolen [Chorus] Stolen I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone I'll be gone, I'll be gone
