Long Gone

I love this band. A friend told me the lyrics were to superficial, and I agreed, but I still relate to it all to much. This album was my favorite of 2007.

This song is about feeling guilty about trying to get over a relationship, and feeling like your being led on, but at the same time not caring and (almost) encouraging it.

superficial?

haha i don't know what is meant by that either. the lyrics are one of the things that stuck out in my mind the first time i heard any of their songs. that and they're so damn catchy!

Corrected lyrics:

So your heart's falling apart Well babe so is your mind And I would try and pick them up And put 'em back inside Through your ears and through your eyes If I could only find the time I can't change what you decide But that can't stop me from trying

So I have to say I told you so in the bar room glow that night And I told you that so don't feel bad it's alright

Ya see hope's always in sight Can you see him through those trees And if he's lying through his teeth Would you remind him to breathe And if he asks where he should sleep Would you remind him he could always leave And remind yourself that you're no thief And that you never meant to be

And then remind your a ghost of a friend Quit whispering in your ear 'Cause I don't know where she's been All I know is she appeared But if she asks where I am tell her I'm long gone, long gone

You call that a heartbreaking song She called it another reason to move on She called I haven't known you that long You should call it please string me along You could call it you're right even if you're wrong Just call it I don't know what I want

And then call on me 'cause you know I'm always here And I'll tell you why he shaved his head and beard And I don't know where she's been, all I know is she appeared And she's a ghost of a friend, like a ghost she'll disappear But if she asks where my brother is tell her He's long gone, long gone Long gone, long gone Long gone, long gone
