Before I go

That fire was burnin’ down to smoke

We were leanin’ close and laughin’ low

We’d been friends for too damn long

But we hadn’t crossed that line, we stayed strong

I told you I’d be leavin’ come next week

You said, “Guess that means you’ll forget me”

I just shook my head

I’ll never forget what we did

We talked about school, all those nights

How we swore we’d never cross that line

Then you kissed me… like I always wanted to

And I knew, right then, I’d never forget you

Before I go… hold me tight, the world don’t have to know

Let the clock stop tickin’, it’s just us alone

This ain’t a goodbye, just the road I chose

This love’s like a firefly, only burns for a little while

Just let me love you for a while

Before I go

Your perfume filled the room

That Nickelback song set the mood

We said the things we shouldn’t that night

Tryin’ to make forever before the sunlight

Lyin’ there with your breath on my skin

Wishin’ we could do it all over again

For one more night… wish that would make it right

Everything else just faded into the night

Every mile made me wish you were here

And every sunrise whispered you were near

Before I go… hold me tight, the world don’t have to know

Let the clock stop tickin’, it’s just us alone

This ain’t a goodbye, just the road I chose

This love’s like a firefly, only burns for a little while

Just let me love you for a while

Before I go

Before I go… hold me one last time, the world can’t wait

Let the clock keep tickin’, it’s just our fate

This is the last goodbye

This love’s burnt out like a firefly

Just let me hold on for a while

Before I go

Before I go…

Before I go…

Before I go…

Before

I

Go
