I see something in your eyes, 'cause I know, I've been there too
You can't be the only one to have things happen to you
You want for something you can't say or something you can't even touch
And you can't think of anything in this world you've ever wanted as much
So you run, and you hide away, 'cause you just can't take it another day
Oh baby, you gotta hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time gone
It's gonna be a long time gone

So you run, and you hide away, 'cause you just can't take it another day
Oh baby, you gotta hold on, hold on
It's gonna be a long time gone
It's gonna be a long, long, long time gone
Gone away, gone away, say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Gone away, gone away, say goodbye, goodbye, running from what you can't find
[repeat and fade on G G C C, ad lib.]
