Gone

She told him she'd rather fix her makeup

than try and 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 spin away today, '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

Everyday 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.

We are not infinite

We are not permanent

Nothing is immediate

And we pretend like we're immortal.

We are so confident 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 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 a God who's never been short of cash

Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked.

Life is still worth living, life is more than we are.
