What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You couldn't get what you were after
2
After all was said and done
3
Amid the echoes of the screams and the laughter
4
Cracking the blinds to the noonday sun
5
Running out of room, tugging at the tether
6
Old desires on the closet shelf
7
You read between the lines until the lines ran
8
together
9
Somehow had to save yourself
10
chorus
11
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone
12
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long
13
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong
14
Got to save yourself
15
Now your bad boy runs you ragged
16
But the nice guy bores you flat to tears
17
He sends you flowers and birthday cards
18
He tries so hard and he's out of here
19
'Cause it's all you can handle just to stay okay
20
You don't need nobody's pain
21
You've got no room for baggage
22
Passengers must now de-plane
23
chorus
24
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone
25
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long
26
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong
27
Got to save yourself
28
Your new job keeps you busy
29
The old car runs alright
30
The hot wind off the concrete
31
Sometimes keeps you up at night
32
The lights go off in the building
33
And you're sitting there alone
34
'Cause the girls and boys you run with
35
Have all up and gone home
36
So you're sifting through the ashes
37
Getting way down dark and deep
38
You've got your life all figured out
39
But you still don't get much sleep
40
chorus
41
'Cause it don't come back once it's gone
42
Now you wonder why you had to wait so long
43
Wasn't no sense being where you don't belong
44
Got to save yourself
