When I'm Gone Lyrics

I look around me
But all I seem to see
Is people going nowhere
Expecting sympathy
It's like we're going through the motions
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration
If life won't wait
I guess it's up to me

No, we're not gonna waste
Another moment in this town
And we won't come back
The world is calling out
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company
Well, so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Procrastination
Running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating
You wound up left for dead
(You're left for dead)

Life is what happens
While you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
But that won't happen to me

No, we're not gonna waste
Another moment in this town
And we won't come back
The world is calling out
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company
Well, so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Let's go!

Won't look back when I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave
There's a hole behind me
I'm gonna take what's mine tonight
'Cause every wasted day
Becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
'Cause life won't wait
I guess it's up to you

No, we're not gonna waste
Another moment in this town
And we won't come back
The world is calling out
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company
Well, so long
You'll miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

Hey, nice new SP. Very good lyrics. Not even whiney.

Well, I think, basically, his town is dragging him down and the people in it are also dragging him down as well, and he just has had enough, gets up, and ditches.

Oh, if only I could do that.

The town and the people there are all the same and boring. They are holding back. He finally realizes what has been going on for years and he needs to get out of there. He's thinking about what would happen if... but he's tired of it and is ready for a change :]
