"Gone"- The Butterfly Effect

I'm a sucker for anything with a twelve-eight time signature.
If it has a great guitar... Well, then.
It just has to be a good song.
"Gone" by The Butterfly Effect is great.
What else can I say?

I'm all alone, I'm alone,
This high water tide underneath the flood,
Deserts of dust, if I must I will stand.
These are my promises.

I hope you're winning the war,
To make everything like it was before,
All that we were, we can still be again, I swear.
I'm afraid you're gone...

I don't want you,
I don't want you to go.

I've got the sun in my eyes,
I didn't see you passing me by.
I just want you, I just want you to know,
Inside me forever you'll go.

Now I just want to go home,
Carried by all that was ever known,
Held in these hands, if I must I will stand.

Given these promises,
Now I've been running too long,
These feet are too tired to carry on,
Weighing us down, if you're gone I will drown.

I'm afraid you're gone...
I don't want you, I don't want you to go,
I've got the sun in my eyes,
I didn't see you passing me by.
I just want you, I just want you to know,
If forever exists,
Inside me forever you'll go,
If forever exists...

I've got the sun in my eyes,
I didn't see you passing me by.
Now I've been running too long, yeah,
To carry on.

I don't want you, I don't want you to go,
I've got the sun in my eyes, yeah.
I'm afraid you're gone...
If forever exists,
Inside me is where you belong.
If forever exists...

[They are a band from Australia, by the way.]
