Maybe You're Gone - Sondre Lerche

You have been waiting all your life

You use your patience to stay fine

Time moves on as you prepare

To tell yourself be reasonable

Then come the times you can’t foresee

You cannot leave, you can’t release

To keep you far from those dreams

Ignoring the right times

Oh, waiting was my life

For now it’s too late

For you may not wait

And things that I have yet to know

Vanish before they’re complete

I may turn around

To see if you’re still there

But as for now, it’s just not safe

Maybe you’ll wait for me Maybe you’re gone

You’ve been preparing all your life

You’ve had some trouble getting it right

And you try to tell yourself it may work, as it should

But something good can do much harm

The good may kill for your embrace

To keep you far from those dreams

You know you cannot dream

I’m stuck for now, it seems
