Long Gone
Pauline Herr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause I know there are words don't want to break it
Tripping over mind itself
Wondering if you even felt anything at all
Cause I still feel it all
Yeah I know we′re sleeping alone
Feeling's fake but I still wanna know
I know we are long gone
Yeah I know we're sleeping alone
Feeling′s fake but I still wanna know
Baby we are long gone
I know we are long gone
Yeah I know we′re sleeping alone
Feeling's fake but I still wanna know
Baby we are long gone
I know we are long gone
Yeah I know we′re sleeping alone
Feeling's fake but I still wanna know
If you′re seeing someone new
Does she makes you like I do?
I know it's not how it used to be
Falling in love with myself lately
That′s all I need
And maybe someone else can be
By my side
When I feel
Like I can't stand on my own
When I fly
Will you fly with me?
(Will you fly) Oh, woah, woah
Will you fly with me?
I can't keep doing this by myself
Woah, woah, woah
Will you fly with me?
In Pauline Herr's song, "Long Gone," the lyrics convey the feelings of someone who is missing their past lover. The opening lines express the singer's reluctance to confess her feelings because she realizes that they might lead to further heartbreak. The next lines indicate that despite the fact that she thinks about him all the time, she is unsure if he felt the same way about her. The chorus repeatedly states that they are "long gone" and sleeping alone. However, the singer remains curious about the possibility of her lover moving on with someone else and whether that person makes him feel the way she did.
The second verse shows the singer gradually coming to terms with the end of the relationship. She affirms the importance of self-love and acknowledges the possibility of starting something new with someone else. The final lines reveal her vulnerability and the hope that her past lover will join her in the new journey.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal human experience of dealing with heartbreak and moving on. The lyrics convey the sadness and confusion of a breakup while also highlighting the importance of self-love and growth.
