Dead and Gone Lyrics

Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah (Whoa oh oh)

So long
Why you waiting so long?
After every single word is said
I'm feeling dead and gone

Along
Don't you drag me along
If you do, you know I'll follow you
Until the truth is known

I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
All the way, all the way
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
All the way, all the way

So long
Why'd it take you so long?
Every time I hear the whistle blow
I'm down below, your pawn

Don't call me, I'll call you
Is what you say, I'll obey
Chill tonight, gonna get it right
I need to say, gotta say

I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
All the way, all the way
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
I'll go anywhere you go, oh oh oh
All the way, all the way

Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah
Nah nah, nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah (Whoa oh oh)

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.

Damn! I had wished he was saying "I'll go anywhere you don't."

Boy, what does THAT say about my love life!

She's leading him on. However, he's hopelessly in love and he either doesn't realize it, or he doesn't care.
