Gone Before You Know
Listless and wanting more.
What the hell am I fighting for?
But I’ve got to keep swinging.
While there’s still fight in me.
Aimless, I’m a vagabond.
But I’ve got to keep moving on.
There is no place for me here.
I’ve got to get going, my dear.
And onward I go.
Be it fast or be it slow.
If I stay here any longer
I’m bound to fuck it all up again.
So I’ll put one foot
in front of the other.
And I’ll set my eyes
down the road
so much further.
And so much further
I’ve got to go.
I’ll be gone before you know.
Arms up, I’ve quit the fight.
White flag is waving in the breeze.
I don’t know what I don’t know,
and that is killing me.
If I were to stay now,
would you hold me there in your arms?
I don’t know what’s on your mind,
I guess I never will.
I don’t know when I’ll be back.
Don’t keep the lights on.
I don’t know where life will carry me,
but I know that I’ve got to go.
And onward I go.
Be it fast or be it slow.
If I stay here any longer
I’m bound to fuck it all up again.
So I’ll put one foot
in front of the other.
And I’ll set my eyes
down the road
so much further.
And so much further
I’ve got to go.
I’ll be gone before you know.
