Gone Too Long
Dancing Lynx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Had a meeting with the future me
Asking him what he wish he had done differently
He said love more and worry less 'cause what really matters in the in the end is the love you gave to the other woman

She has been gone too long searching for love
She's been gone too long searching for love

Change my live change my view
Understanding it is not about doing the things you do perfectly, independently
Don't let me fall 'cause we get lost in the dream
'Cause if she falls asleep she may lose what's reel

That's why she had been gone too long searching for love
She's been gone too long searching for love





Gone too long searching for love
She's been gone too long searching for love x5
