about

This song came to me from one line, one vivid image that I couldn't shake: "I wanna feel the fangs of a snake
Piercing the skin and flesh on my arm."
I realized that the only way to get rid of it would be to write a song around it. So I did.

lyrics

Em
I wanna see the spark in your eyes
C
When you discover love
Em
I wanna see the spark in your eyes
C
When life gives you the shove
Am G D
I wanna feel the thrill before BB sings it's gone
Em
Gone, long gone.

Em
I wanna jump from a plane
C
With you by my side
Em
I wanna feel my brain
C
Slowly overpowered by the tide
Am G D
A fear so fierce I'm gone,
Em
Gone, long gone.

G D
There'll come a day the sun won't set
C
There'll come a day, but we ain't there yet
D Em
For now, we're gone, gone, long gone.

I wanna feel the fangs of a snake
Piercing the skin and flesh on my arm
I wanna know what's at stake
Before I fall for your charm
It’s a one-way ticket for another dawn
Gone, long gone.

G D
There'll come a day the sun won't set
C
There'll come a day, but we ain't there yet
D Em
For now, we're gone, gone, long gone.
