Before You're Gone

How'd you feel about me yesterday Couldn't shake the feeling you're still looking my way Longing stares through a stained champagne glass They said these feelings, oh that they'd pass But they're wrong In a storm you're still my sailboat's mast You're my shattered bone's signed cast Holding me together On days I can't do any better, no You're the sunset that I keep on chasing Dip below the horizon, I'm racing Running out of breath Just to catch you Before you're gone I went out looking for someone else like you But I found nothing more than empty tables fit for two Glances in the mirror, getting oh so fast You of all know I've got category fives in my past In a storm you're still my sailboat's mast You're my shattered bone's signed cast Holding me together On days I can't do any better, no You're the sunset that I keep on chasing Dip below the horizon, I'm racing Running out of breath Just to catch you Before you're... The clock struck two above the mantel I wished that I could change the channel But I'm stuck playing this show Over and over and over in my heart Bloodshed with no one to stop the blame You've turned into an open flame Burning up the rest of our story In front of our eyes The days get longer as I fight through every afternoon I watch the fire burn just to try out something new When you told me you were going far away I didn't know it meant that I'd be here to stay Without you In a storm you're still my sailboat's mast You're my shattered bone's signed cast Holding me together On days I can't do any better, no You're the sunset that I keep on chasing Dip below the horizon, I'm racing Running out of breath Just to catch you Before you're gone Mmm Before you're gone
