[Verse 1]
Life is too short to waste all your time
Running too quickly to the finish line
Time is a trap, it's ready and set
And the longer you live, the closer you get to being

[Chorus]
Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget

[Verse 2]
There's no guarantees or promise of wealth
When you're only allowed so much time on the shelf
Time isn't money, it's only a lie
Because everything lost can be found but your time when you're

[Chorus]
Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget

[Verse 3]
So live in doubt, live in fear
And you might live forever
Or live it up and watch your back
And you might live for better
[Chorus]
Gone, gone like the evening
Sun, the sun when it sets
Gone, gone like the darkness
At dawn, and then they forget
