Sondre Lerche Maybe You're Gone lyrics

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 and 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

And 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
And 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

For now it's too late and 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
