Gone
Ziggy Alberts Lyrics

And I watch as the sun goes down, as another day lost for now
Observing the sun setting, and recognizing that another day has passed and is now gone.

And I wonder where you woke up this morning
Considering where the subject of the song woke up after the previous night's events.

'Cause it was just last night, but oh your kiss
Reflecting on a recent romantic encounter, specifically remembering a kiss.

It was just a touch, but oh your lips
Recalling a brief but meaningful moment of physical intimacy.

She was beautiful
Describing the subject of the song as attractive.

And we put our hands up to the sky, screamed the lyrics loud, not shy
Joining in a moment of joy and expression, singing along and raising their hands.

Then you put your hand in mine and
Recalling a specific moment of connection between two people.

Well they, they fell perfectly together
Noting the smooth and effortless way that two people's hands fit together.

She looks like Pocahontas but, she wears these high-top sneakers
Describing the appearance of the subject of the song using a cultural reference and noting an interesting contrast in her outfit.

With a button-up, she's so indie but she's, really beautiful, she's beautiful
Adding more detail to the subject's appearance and reiterating their beauty.

And she grabbed me closer so I said, well hypothetically, theoretically
Recalling a moment of intellectual banter with the subject of the song after they drew close physically.

And well, she said nothing and well she kissed me instead
Following up on the previous line to describe how the subject of the song responded physically rather than verbally.

As the sun starts to rise, and the twilight night is thin
Noticing the transition from nighttime to morning and acknowledging the thinning of the night sky.

She kissed me for the last time, and she was
Concluding the narrative of the romantic encounter, describing the final kiss and hinting at the subject's departure.

Gone, gone as the daylight comes, and I'll probably never see her again
Accepting that the subject of the song has departed and expressing a sense of finality and loss.

Gone, gone as daylight comes, and I'm falling in love, and I won't pretend
Acknowledging that despite the brevity of the romantic encounter, the subject of the song has left an impact and that the singer may be developing feelings.

It was just a fling, but that is the thing
Recognizing that the romantic encounter was brief and casual, but also important.

'Cause I don't know if I want you to hear this song
Expressing uncertainty about the desire to share this song with someone else.

Would you sing along, would you turn it off or turn it up
Speculating about the possible reactions someone else might have to this song.

Would you learn the lyrics and come see me the next morning
Hypothetically imagining a scenario where someone else learns the lyrics to the song and seeks out the singer after hearing it.

Because I don't know what I want, or what you want
Admitting to a lack of clarity or certainty about their own feelings and those of the other person.

But the thing is
Introducing a closing thought or conclusion.
