I'll Be Gone

It was a long hot summer day

We're in the living room watching the light drain away

Hey you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn

When she said, "The first time you show me your true heart I'll be gone"

I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I'll be gone, I'll be gone

The numb ringing after the bell was rung

Playing red light, green light, such timeless fun

And there was no way to kick start any conversation

It was like the beginning of 2001, when she said

"I'll be gone, I'll be gone

I'll be gone, I'll be gone"

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 leeches the gold out of everything elusive but stolen, but 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
