Already Gone

On Monday morning, wakin' up

Still too numb to speak

Another night just starin' at the wall

Last night's conversation

Knocked me off my feet

I guess today I fall

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before

Ah, what's the use of fightin' when you know you've lost the war?

Walk the streets of New Orleans

Shit soaked to my skin

Through the mess of yesterday's parade

A thousand times a day I think of callin' you again

Come to my senses instead

And everytime we walk away we lose a little time

Pretendin' to each other now that everything is fine

I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep

I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasts too long

So long, I know I do

Already gone

I wonder should I get up

Would, but what's the point?

Oh, when something's gone it's gone for good

Maybe I could look away

Back to where we used to be

One more time, I wish I could

Oh, nevermind the reasons, tore us all apart

We've both done things I know we can't defend

What's the use in tracin' it all back to the start

There's something missin' in the air

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way

Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before

Ah, what's the use of fightin' when you know you've lost the war?

Say you don't see what's wrong

Every night lasts too long

So long, I know I do

Already gone

Oh, I know I do

Already gone
