Gone By Morning
[Spoken Intro]
Yeah, I don't think my mind's really changed from the start. Yeah, but I- and you're right, I can- I can just stick around and figure it out, but... I don't really want to.
[Verse 1]
I shouldn't relate to
Villains in cartoons
As much as I do
Guess that I need to
Grow a handlebar mustache
As soon as I do
I'll fit the part
That you want me to
(But I mean, uh…)
[Pre-Chorus]
If you really truly want me gone by morning
I'll do you one better, I'll head out right now
I want to...
[Chorus]
Go any way where no one knows my name
Make it an adventure
And never ever be the same
And I'd be to blame
Only me to blame
When I miss my appointmеnts
And lose all my friends in this silly game of-
Lifе would be alright
If I left tonight
It'd never be the same (Oo, oo, oo)
I'd gladly take the blame
Mm, mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
I want to relate to
Heroes in cartoons
But I'm no Mary-Sue
Don't know what to do
I don't mean to wallow
Here in my sorrow
If heroes don't cry
Then neither do I (Hey, I don't cry. I don't cry.)
(Um, but…)
[Pre-Chorus]
If you really truly want me gone by morning
I'll do you one better, I'll head out right now
[Chorus]
I want to go any way where no one knows my name
Make it an adventure
And never ever be the same
And I'd be to blame
Only me to blame
When I miss my appointments
And lose who I am in this silly game of-
Life would be alright
If I left tonight
It'd never be the same
And I'd gladly take the blame
[Bridge]
I'm just a line in your book
You're all the pages in mine
Why does it seem to happen like that every time?
I'm just a line, I'm just a line, I'm just a line
I'm just a line, I'm just a line
I'm just a moment in time
A single beat and then I'm
Gone just as quick as I came
We never get to rewind
I'm skipping town
I'm leaving now, I'm leaving, I'm
Leaving before I'm out of time
'Cause I, oh I
I want to...
[Chorus]
Go somewhere where no one knows my name
Say hi to every stranger
And never outgrow video games
And I'd be to blame
Oh, I'd be to blame
When I lose my job
And dress like a pirate every day of my-
Life would be alright
If I left tonight
It'd never be the same
And I'd gladly take the blame
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
It'd never be the same
Where no one knows my name
Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Where no one knows my name
