When You’re Gone You’re Gone

About the Song I had the feeling at the time of writing the song about working too hard, not seeing the light of day much, the pressures of the daily routine and having to push forward just to stand still. This song is questioning that attitude and when in some future time you will look back with regret. Maybe it’s a bit ’smell the flowers while you can’ but with more pressured and rushed perspective on life which fits in with the songs agressive style. I also decided to do a diary of a song I’ve been working on, I thought I would write down what I need to do to get the song from a few scrappy ideas in my head, to guitar, to vocals, to recording, mixing, and mastering. You can read the complete song diary week by week here. Diary of a song

Lyrics

v1 You’ve got a lot of things to do You’ve got a lot on your mind But you can’t find the money And you can’t find the time v2 You keep pushing pushing pushing Just to keep on track You’ve got to keep moving so you don’t fall back v3 Doing everything you can just to stick to the plan You’re not doing what you want Just doing what you can v4 You keep taking taking taking so you stay upright But you’re tired all day And can’t sleep at night Chorus 1 Man you’re gonna wonder Where it all went wrong When you’re gone you’re gone Chorus 2 Man you’re gonna wonder Where it all went wrong When you’re gone you’re gone Then you’re gonna look back And see what you’ve become When you’re gone you’re gone Chorus 3 Man you’re gonna wonder Where it all went wrong When you’re gone you’re gone Man you’re gonna wonder And see what you have done When you’re gone you’re gone Bridge Don’t you know They’re dying to know Who am I To tell you why When don’t you know
