already gone lyrics

Monday morning waking up
Still too numb to speak
Another night just staring at the wall
Last night's conversation
Knocked me off my feet
I guess today I fall

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way
Be careful of the things we do and watch the things we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
Oh what's the use of fighting, when you know you've lost the war

Walk the streets of New Orleans
Shirt soaked to my skin
Through the mess of yesterday's parade
A thousand times a day
I think of calling you again
Come to my senses instead

And every time we walk away we lose a little time
Pretending to each other now that everything is fine
I know whatever lies, I use to get myself to sleep
I wake up to the promises, I know we couldn't keep

Say you don't see what's wrong
Every night lasts to know
So long I know, I do
Already gone

I wonder should I get up
I would but what's the point?
Oh when something's gone, it's gone for good
Maybe I could look away
Back to where we used to be
And one more time, I wish I could

Oh, never mind the reasons, that tore us all apart
We've both done things I know we can't defend
What's the use in tracing it all back to the star?
There's something missing in the air

I wish that we could find a way to look the other way
Be careful of the things we do and everything we say
And maybe then we'd get somewhere we'd never been before
Oh what's the use of fighting, when you know you've lost the war

Say you don't see what's wrong
Every night lasts to know
So long I know, I do
Already gone
Oh I know, I do
Already gone
