Gone Before You Know

You say you like the way I move
Like I'm something you can choose
But I don't play that kind of game
I don't stay, I never do
You lean in like you got a chance
Like I'm caught inside your hands
But I'm already out the door
Before you even understand

You try to read me like a sign
But I change every time
You think you got me figured out
Then I vanish in the night

I'm gone before you know
No, you can't hold me close
You reach, I disappear
Then I'm back out of control
I'm gone before you know
Like a shadow in the glow
You want me, then I go
I'm gone before you know

Every word you say sounds sweet
But I've heard it on repeat
You're just chasing what you see
But you'll never get to me
I don't need your promises
I don't fall for quick romances
If you blink, I'm out of sight
I don't stay for second chances

You try to read me like a sign
But I change every time
You think you got me figured out
Then I vanish in the night

I'm gone before you know
No, you can't hold me close
You reach, I disappear
Then I'm back out of control
I'm gone before you know
Like a shadow in the glow
You want me, then I go
I'm gone before you know

Touch me, lose me
Try to choose me
Every move is
Just an illusion

I'm gone before you know
No, you can't hold me close
You reach, I disappear
Then I'm back out of control
I'm gone before you know
Like a shadow in the glow
You want me, then I go
I'm gone before you know
I'm gone before you know (know)
No, you can't hold me close (close)
You reach, I disappear (I disappear)
Then I'm back out of control (control)
Gone Before You Know
