[Intro]
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone, when I'm gone (Oh)
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love (Oh)
When I'm gone, when I'm gone
[Verse]
Swing around front, let me inside
Playin' my song into my sides
It hurts, I can't lie
Remember those times I fought to get out?
I want to get out
Those pictures so clear, will fade in my mind
You're leavin' me here with ashes and fire
These people don't heal, these people don't feel
These people aren't real, so make me this deal
Won't you?
[Chorus]
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone (Ooh), when I'm gone (When I'm gone, yeah)
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love (When I'm gone, yeah)
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love (When I'm gone, yeah)
When I'm gone (Ooh, yeah), when I'm gone (When I'm gone)
(When I'm gone, when I'm gone)
[Outro]
Look into your heart and let me know
Do things turn black and gray as they go?
When I'm far too gone, can you show me love?
Give me love
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Caught in a river of records and dreams (Ooh)
Oh, will you keep up with me? (Ooh)
Everyone's looking for someone to hold (Ooh)
But I can't let you go (Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)

For the video and the song, I went off this quote from The Office. … They said something like, ‘I wish we knew when we were living in the good old days instead of finding out later’.
We see very clearly that even when we’ve completed what might be our life’s work, those moments might mean absolutel...
