“Gone”
It feels a little like rain
Feels a little like falling asleep on a train
I know that you were right
I couldn’t let you in
But I held you so tight your breath burned on my skin
And is it near or is it far that we begin
To know something’s near
Not the change in the seasons that scares me, dear
It’s the sound in the distance that I start to hear
Some days in my mind
I see you look the same
The way you were two years ago when you came
I see you there softly moving
Sweet around my pain
Fixing my heart, and my hands, and my brain
But we knew we couldn’t stay
We couldn’t stay
And you know something’s near
Not the change in the seasons that scares me, dear
It’s the sound in the distance that I start to hear
When it rolls in just like thunder
When the storm, it breaks
Makes me wonder why you came at all
And you’re gone, gone, gone, gone
And when you leave
Part of you will
Part of me will start to breathe
When you’re gone, gone, gone, gone
Some days I’ll admit
I don’t know what to do
You came in, you gave me the deepest parts of you
But now I’m falling asleep
And I’m falling awake
And I don’t know now how long it’s gonna take
No, no, no
You know something’s near
Not the change in the seasons that scares me, dear
It’s the sound in the distance that I start to hear
When it rolls in just like thunder
And the storm, it breaks
Makes me wonder why you came at all
And you’re gone, gone, gone, gone
And when you leave
Part of you will
Part of me will start to breathe
When you’re gone, gone, gone, gone
