Before We’re Gone

I spent six months on the road
 watching the trees through the window
 singin' my songs to packed-in shows
 girls fill the whole front row, oh
 but it don't mean a thing
 the scene's insane on the low
 bathroom stalls packed full of snow
 anything you want is yours and the go
 suicide girls at the door, oh
 but it don't mean a thing
 if you're not here
 if you're not here
 but it don't mean a thing
 I'm in a brand-new Cadillac
 the engine purrs the paint spills black
 rollin' with homies who don't know how to act
 and we all got our seats pushed back
 but it don't mean a thing
 if you're not here!
 this ain't another love song
 I'm trying to figure out what's right or wrong
 before we're gone, oh
 let's stand outside of all regret
 and share another cigarette
 before we're gone, oh
 it seems the party never ends
 hundred dollar tab bill, so-called friends
 they promise and smile and laugh and pretend
 that they all wanna share the syringe, oh-h
 but it don't mean a thing
 I sing this song from inside
 behind all the walls, behind all the pride
 for fear that I'll never realize that you are the prize
 and it don't mean a thing
 if you're not here
 this ain't another love song
 I'm trying to figure out what's right or wrong
 before we're gone, oh-h
 let's stand outside of all regret and share another cigarette
 before we're gone, oh-h
 you go ahead and reapply your chapstick
 me, I'm gonna take my last sip
 before we're gone
 you run ahead and call shotgun
 I don't, and then you frown and say I'm not fun
 before we're gone
 before we're gone.
