When You Were Gone Lyrics by Retail Space

You Can Catch a Lobster With Eggs But Not Egg Salad

2017

[Verse 1]
I’ve been holding my breath everyday
Waiting for the storm to pass away
Carried everything above my waist
I dropped some things
They’re lost, but that’s okay
[Chorus]
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
[Verse 2]
They’re floating out of sight beyond the waves
I’m seeing now they’ll all return someday
The tide is rolling in, distributing
Shells and things once lost that didn’t sink
[Chorus]
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
When you were gone
[Verse 3]
And now it’s clear, the beach is empty, clean
There’s supposed to be a storm but I won’t leave
I’m standing and the sky is light and green
But there’s no point
I missed my chance, I’m weak
[Outro]
When you were gone
