Gone, Gone, Gone Lyrics

a king of the road
a queen of the phone
i'm bad at calling
you're bad at being alone

a long night asleep
and a kiss on your nose
you're the cutest thing
even in your clothes

but you're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast
we could try to hold on
but we both hold back
you were built for speed
i was built to last
but we're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast

we spark a fire
but we're not a match
you think 50 cent is money
i'd just wanna hear cash

i'm good at being bad
you're good at being mad
and that makes us perfect
can't you see that

but you're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast
we could try to hold on
but we both hold back
you were built for speed
i was built to last
but we're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast

oh why can't we just be happy
oh baby why can't we just be
happy

i pick the lock
you are the key
baby you're so pretty
you should be in movies

but you're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast
we could try to hold on
but we both hold back
you were built for speed
i was built to last
but we're gone gone gone
and baby way too fast

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.
