When We're Gone

[Intro] [Verse 1] Coffee gets cold on the kitchen table Photos fade but the stories stay Kids grow up, move out, get married Nothing stops, nothing waits The house feels bigger, quieter now Seasons change, but we don't know how Yesterday was just a moment Now it's twenty years ago [Pre-Chorus] We're all just passing through Like shadows in the afternoon [Chorus] When we're gone, when we're gone Will they remember our favorite song? All the love we gave away Does it matter anyway? When we're gone, when we're gone Time keeps rolling on and on But the hearts we touched will know That we were here, we were home [Verse 2] Grandpa's watch still ticks in the drawer Mom's perfume still fills the hall Little things that hold the biggest Pieces of us after all The world keeps spinning, people forget But love leaves marks you can't reset In every hug and every lesson Lives a part we can't let go [Pre-Chorus] We're all just passing through Like shadows in the afternoon [Chorus] When we're gone, when we're gone Will they remember our favorite song? All the love we gave away Does it matter anyway? When we're gone, when we're gone Time keeps rolling on and on But the hearts we touched will know That we were here, we were home [Bridge] Every laugh line tells a story Every tear was worth the pain In the end what makes us human Is the love that will remain [Final Chorus] When we're gone, when we're gone They'll remember our favorite song All the love we gave away It matters more than we can say When we're gone, when we're gone Time keeps rolling on and on But the hearts we touched will know That we were here We were real We were home [Outro] Coffee gets cold on the kitchen table But the warmth we shared will stay
