Back When I’m Gone
Lyric by Manny Vallarino
© 2015 Manny Vallarino
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
