Back When I’m Gone

Lyric by Manny Vallarino
© 2015 Manny Vallarino

Song finished and produced

Verse 1
I can’t remember the day when I was born
But I must’ve been born
Right at the break of dawn

Verse 2
Because I’m never able to tell between night and day
Between think, do, and say
Between black, white, and gray

Pre-chorus
But I’m sure the only way
To get another shot at you
Is to slowly drift away
From all you know
About me and you

Chorus
I don’t belong
So I’ll move along to
Find what I lack
But I will be Back When I’m Gone

Verse 3
You’ve been searching the clouds for something far from here
Give me a day, a month, a year
And it might not steer clear

Pre-chorus
‘Cause I’m sure the only way
To get another shot at you
Is to slowly drift away
From all you know
About me and you

Chorus
I don’t belong
So I’ll move along to
Find what I lack
But I will be Back When I’m Gone

Bridge
And I can’t lie
I need you now
But I’ll wait it out

Chorus
I don’t belong
So I’ll move along to
Find what I lack
But I will be Back When I’m Gone
