State Champs

Dead and Gone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(When you're dead and gone)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(When you're dead and gone)

One year ago, with a flower in hand

One year ago, we wrote our names in the sand

The wind would blow your summer hair

(One year ago)

Once easy love, now you're making it rough

You know I try, you say it's never enough

You left with ease and didn't care

(One year ago)

What used to seem like heaven

Feels like hell

I wanna breathe with ease again

I wanna get some fucking sleep again

You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong

I need to get upstate again

I need to get my head on straight again

You only get redemption when you're dead and gone

When you're dead and gone

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(When you're dead and gone)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Ten years from now, we'll be tired and old

Ten years from now, we won't ever leave home

Singing "I'll be there for you"

(Ten years from now)

Give me the one and only reason that could make me believe

You were everything I want, but not the thing that I need

It's hard to say, it's sad but true

What used to seem like heaven

Feels like hell

I wanna breathe with ease again

I wanna get some fucking sleep again

You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong

(After it's gone)

I need to get upstate again

I need to get my head on straight again

You only get redemption when you're dead and gone

When you're dead and gone

Nothing left here to say

Nothing to celebrate

Nothing left here to say

Nothing to celebrate

I wanna breathe with ease again

I wanna get some fucking sleep again

You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong

(After it's gone)

I need to get upstate again

I need to get my head on straight again

You only get redemption when you're dead and gone

You only get redemption when you're dead and gone

Oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(When you're dead and gone)

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

When you're dead and gone
