It was a long hot summer day   We're in the living room watching the light drain away   Hey you're too tired to read what your cards foretold inside of a yawn   When she said, "The first time you show me your true heart I'll be gone"      I'll be gone, I'll be gone   I'll be gone, I'll be gone      The numb ringing after the bell was rung   Playing red light, green light, such timeless fun   And there was no way to kick start any conversation   It was like the beginning of 2001, when she said      "I'll be gone, I'll be gone   I'll be gone, I'll be gone"      The air isn't moving and the women have nothing on their lips   But the kind of breath that you keep for the hospital bed   Pregnant with the timeless drop and the wind   The air leeches the gold out of everything elusive but stolen, but stolen      I'll be gone, I'll be gone   I'll be gone, I'll be gone   I'll be gone, I'll be gone
