Gone

Gone
She told him she'd rather fix her make-up
Than try to fix what's going on
But the problem keeps on calling
Even with the cell phone gone

She told him that she believes in living
Bigger than she's living now
But her world keeps spinning backwards and
Upside-down
Don't say so-long, you're not that far gone.
Don't spend today away, 'cause today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
Just try and prove me wrong and
Pretend like you're immortal.
She said, He said live like no tomorrow
Every day we borrow brings us
One step closer to the edge.Infinity
Where's your treasure? where's your hope?
If you get the world and lose your soul?
She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal.

Don't say so-long, and throw yourself wrong.
This could be your big chance to make-up,
Today will soon be
Gone, like yesterday is gone
Like history is gone
The world keeps spinning on
You're going, going
Gone,like summer break is gone,
Like Saturday is gone
Just try and prove me wrong and
Pretend like you're immortal
(you're immortal) you're immortal (you're immortal) ha-ah

We are not infinite
We are not permanent
Nothing's immediate
And we pretend like we're immortal
We're so comforted in our accomplishments
Look at our decadence.
Gone,like Frank Sinatra,like Elvis and his mom
Like Al Pacino's cash,nothing lasts in this life
Gone, my high school dreams are gone
My childhood sweets are gone
Life is a day that doesn't last for long

Life is more than money, time was never money
Time was never cash,
Life is still more than girls,Life is more than girls
Life is more than hundred dollar bills and roto-tom fills,
Life is more than fame and rock and roll and thrills
All the riches of the kings end up in wills
We've got information in the information age,
But do we know what life is outside of our convenient Lexus cages?

She said, He said live like no tomorrow,
Every moment that we borrow brings us closer
To the God who's never been short of cash
Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.
Life is still worth living,Life is more that we are.
