She’s Gone Words and Music by Marqus Bobesich
How do I make things better?
How many sips ‘til you’re gone?
People all tell me “forget her”
But I don’t know – maybe they’re all wrong
How do we become, the people we become?
And how do I make you care?
I can’t undo all those things I’ve done to you
The great “I told you so” hovers in the air
She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone
(stop your waiting)
Standing here we’re astonished
Like a sleepy, dug-up clam
It’s not the life that was promised (I was promised)
In my messed up notes, in my travel plans
Why we always dreaming of water?
And why’s it always tuggin’ away
Maybe it’s proof that we oughtta
Maybe settle down and tuck those dreams away
She’s gone, she’s gone, she’s gone
(stop your waiting)
Now the clocks keep tickin’
‘Cause the clocks don’t care
the clocks keep tickin’
‘Cause the clocks don’t care
I would’ve kissed you every hour
Every minute of the day
If I knew that someone else
Was calling you away
