I'll Be Gone Lyrics

Ready or not, the end is near
I think it’s time to get out of here
When every fire is burning, dear
I’ll be gone

There is a time, it’s coming soon
It all could happen this afternoon
And while you’re hiding in your living room
I’ll be gone

In the wake of the coming hour
The midnight flood and the meteor shower
I’m gonna run while I still have time
Drink a glass of the finest wine
Let me toast the end of it all
I’ll need a lift before the fall
Before the flames consume the walls
I’ll be gone

You never said what you meant to say
But it’s too late for that anyway
Maybe in another life, someday
If you just hang on

I’d stick around, but it ain’t no use
Too many bodies out on the loose
But I don’t need an excuse
‘Cause I’ll be gone
In the wake of the coming hour
The midnight flood and the meteor shower
I’m gonna run while I still have time
Drink a glass of the cheapest wine
Let me toast the end of it all
I’ll need a lift before the fall
Before the flames consume the walls
I’ll be gone
