Blue Rodeo - Already Gone lyrics

rate me

Monday morning waking up<br />

Still too numb to think<br />

Another night just staring at the wall<br />

Last night's conversation<br />

Knocked me off my feet<br />

I guess today I fall<br />

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way<br />

Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say<br />

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before<br />

Oh what's the use of fighting when you know you've lost the war<br />

Walk the streets of New Orleans<br />

Shirt soaked to my skin<br />

Through the mess of yesterday's parade<br />

A thousand times a day I think of calling you again<br />

Come to my senses instead<br />

And everytime we walk away we lose a little time<br />

Pretending to each other now that everything is fine<br />

I know whatever lies I use to get myself to sleep<br />

I wake up to the promises I know we couldn't keep<br />

Say you don't see what's wrong<br />

Every night lasts too long<br />

So long I know, I do<br />

You're already gone<br />

Ooooh<br />

I wonder should I get up<br />

I would but what's the point?<br />

Oh when something's gone it's gone for good<br />

Maybe I could look away<br />

Back to where we used to be<br />

One more time, I wish I could<br />

Oh, nevermind the reasons, that tore us all apart<br />

We've both done things I know we can't defend<br />

What's the use in tracing it all back to the star<br />

There's something missing in the air<br />

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way<br />

Be careful of the things we do and everything we say<br />

And maybe then we'd get somewhere we've never been before<br />

Oh what's the use of fighting when you know you've lost the war<br />

Say you don't see what's wrong<br />

Every night lasts too long<br />

So long I know, I do<br />

You're already gone<br />

Oh I know, I do<br />

You're already gone<br />

Ooooh-
