So Gone Lyrics

How many times on this marry-go-round
Over and over again
Up on the horse was a weak foolish child
Never believed it would end

How many smokes
'Til I'm satisfied?
How many dreams 'til I'm happy?
How much of the day
Will I watch fade away
'Til there is no one to ask me?

I was gone
So gone
Gone so gone
For a while

How many times will I sleep by your side?
Turning and dreaming and scared
A fairground that’s shut down
As you ride away
My horse won’t go anywhere

I was gone
So gone
Gone so gone
For a while

I was wrong
So wrong
Wrong so wrong
For a while

How many songs will I try to write
All with the same thing to say?
I've got two tickets left
Won't you please stay with me?
The very last ride of the day

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
