[Verse 1]
You left your jacket on my chair
Still smells like rain and summer air
The sky went gold behind the glass
And everything I loved came back
Your name hangs soft in the frame
On my phone like a little flame
I smile first, then it fades
Like the sun falling into waves
[Pre-Chorus]
And I stand there, frozen in the glow
Watching the whole world let you go
One more second, one more sign
But the evening cuts the line
[Chorus]
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
We were burning soft
Now I just sing along
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
That sunset in my chest
Hurts like the last light’s song
[Verse 2]
Your laugh is parked in every room
In the crack between the dark and blue
I hold that edge of fading red
Like a memory I can’t forget
The water keeps what it can keep
A little gold, a little grief
I watch the colors disappear
And miss you more when night is near
[Pre-Chorus]
And I stand there, frozen in the glow
Watching the whole world let you go
One more second, one more sign
But the evening cuts the line
[Chorus]
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
We were burning soft
Now I just sing along
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
That sunset in my chest
Hurts like the last light’s song
[Bridge]
If I close my eyes, you’re still there
Red on the clouds, gold in your hair
But the sky won’t stay, it always turns
And that’s the way my heart still burns
[Breakdown]
Beautiful and gone
(beautiful and gone)
Beautiful and gone
(beautiful and gone)
[Final Chorus]
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
We were burning soft
Now I just sing along
Beautiful and gone
Beautiful and gone
That sunset in my chest
Hurts like the last light’s song
