Lyrics When I'm Gone - We Shot The Moon

When I'm Gone

I saw my life as an hourglass
A grain of sand was an hour passed
And you were there standing next to me
Against the walls of eternity
You turned to me but I looked away
The saddest word written on your face
And I couldn’t say what I was waiting for
So I felt the walls for an open door
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
When I awoke, you were next to me
I held my breath;
you were still asleep
As I remembered the strangest dream
It came together and came to me
That I never knew what you were looking for
So I kept my eye on that open door
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Gonna miss me when I’m gone
Here’s a word that never was spoken
Here’s a promise you should have broken
I took the blame then next you were leaving
I pour a drink to block out the feeling
On a bus away from the city
Headed east across the country
Hit the coast, and I started laughing
You’re going to miss me when I’m gone
Don’t you ever think you were unworthy
I took the blame when I took a bow
I am alone for the rest of my journey
However long I will be allowed
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone.
