Gone

I wait and wait
(Waiting is like standing still)
Like I’m a piece of bait
(Bait is like taking a pill)
It’s time to go
(Go is for run and leap)
Let’s move with the flow
(Flow is everything without a peep)
It’s finally here
(Here is everything you see)
We don’t have to wait ‘til next year
(Year is what is going to be)
I really want to quit
(Quit is to leave right there)
It’s time to move on
(Move is like a dare)
(On is when you’re about to bend)
Gone
(Gone is like the end)
