"When You're Gone" lyrics
Well, me and all those city lights
We reached a long-held compromise
I bite my tongue, when they block the sky
They help me find my way at night
so, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
When the street-side preacher's sermon turns to song
And I rush myself along
When it's dark outside, and I don't feel as strong
I can dream about you deep into the dawn
'Cause I'm not myself, when you're gone
No. I'm not myself, when you're gone
I'm not myself, when you're gone
So, I kicked around the parts of town
That bring me up with my head turned down
Fire-engine sirens cry
A couple nights can start to feel like a long time
Like a long time
When the love of your life is a long-time phenomenon
And you need them to get along
I'm a part-time man and a full-time fan that you've drawn
I can sing about you deep into the dawn
'Cause I'm not myself, when you're gone
No. I'm not myself, when you're gone
We reached a long-held compromise
I bite my tongue, when they block the sky
They help me find my way at night
so, it's alright
Yeah, it's alright
When the street-side preacher's sermon turns to song
And I rush myself along
When it's dark outside, and I don't feel as strong
I can dream about you deep into the dawn
'Cause I'm not myself, when you're gone
No. I'm not myself, when you're gone
I'm not myself, when you're gone
So, I kicked around the parts of town
That bring me up with my head turned down
Fire-engine sirens cry
A couple nights can start to feel like a long time
Like a long time
When the love of your life is a long-time phenomenon
And you need them to get along
I'm a part-time man and a full-time fan that you've drawn
I can sing about you deep into the dawn
'Cause I'm not myself, when you're gone
No. I'm not myself, when you're gone
