Long Gone
Lives And Times Lyrics

What we're doing is so wrong, and what you're wearing is so right (it's so tight)
The situation is morally unjustifiable, but your dress and figure are enticing me.

but I've never felt better, so I'm going out to get her
Despite the ethical dilemma, pursuing another woman feels exhilarating.

and I don't care what set of wheels I steal to get there
I am willing to do whatever it takes to reach her.

Balance is a minor setback.
Prioritizing one's desires over ethics is of little consequence.

What she thinks is all right, and the way she looks is just fine.
The new woman is appealing both in personality and appearance.

She sure as hell ain't you, but lord knows she'll have to do.
Although she is not you, she will be a satisfactory replacement.

She don't know I'm alive but neither do I so there's nothing left to lose.
Neither of us are aware of each other's existence, so there is no risk involved.

If I could only make it make you want to want me.
I wish I could make you desire me in the same way I am drawn to this new woman.

One more drink, I think, should do.
I will drown my moral objections with another round of alcohol.

I wish that I could say I love to watch you walk away, but you probably won't be back in time to hear it.
I want to express my satisfaction in your departure, but you are likely gone already.

So it's just as well. No one out there gets back in alive.
It is probably better you do not hear my thoughts, as it is a dangerous game we are playing.

So I'll love the way you stand so close to a guy who we both know can't get near it.
I will admire your physical presence as you stand near a man who cannot have you.

Strike when ready. Burn the highway down.
I am raring to go, and nothing will stop me from reaching the new woman.

Let me hear her high heels moan. I'm ready, set, go.
Her footsteps sound like music to my ears, and I am eager to go to her.

There's cocaine in the key that took us from the bar to her car to the bedroom.
We have indulged in drugs to facilitate our journey through this dangerous path.

Only the lonesome love us. Only the careless can handle us. What's wrong with us that we're so unamused?
We attract only those who are lonely or reckless, and we wonder why we cannot find genuine happiness.
