Good At Being Gone Lyrics

I've taken time
to think about the words I've said and what they mean
and I've realized that having you is just like having everything

But when I see you dancing there
I get up and throw my hands in the air
when I've nowhere else to roam
I slowly start to think about coming home

It's been so long
it seems the only things I know are far from home
where did I go
it seems sometimes I'm only good at being gone

But when I see you dancing there
I get up and throw my hands in the air
when I've nowhere else to roam
I slowly start to think about coming home

But when I see you standing there
I get up and throw my hands in the air
when I've nowhere else to roam
I slowly start to think about coming home

When I've nowhere else to roam
I slowly start to think about coming home
home, home
When I've nowhere else to roam
I slowly start to think about coming home

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.

I think this song sounds a little country, but I don't really listen to country music so I'm probably wrong. Good song, though.

I think it could be about him dreaming about a his love back home and it makes him want to go back home to be with her.

Its a really beautiful song.
