Gone Too Long
Dancing Lynx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
