Tryin' to figure out which way I want this to go
Do I want it to be happy or sad or fast or slow?
Tryin' to work it out what it is I feel
Do I wanna rock you, shock you
Soothe you or move you?I just wanna write you in a song
Put your smile on paper so you can sing along
I just wanna bottle the sun
Keep your light a secret I can find
When you are gone, gone, gone
When you are gone, gone, goneYou are like a beautiful tree
With roots in the ground so deep
Where they could never be seen
I'm a leaf that's ready to fall
And the wind's gonna blow me
Someday away from it allI just wanna write you in a song
Put your smile on paper so you can sing along
I just wanna bottle the sun
Keep your light a secret I can findWhen you are gone, gone, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone, gone
I just wanna write you in a songMost people when they can't get away
It makes them more than a little crazy
But I'm the one that can never stay
I'll always have you with me
Always have you with me in this song, this songI just wanna write you in a song
Put your smile on paper so you can sing along
I just wanna bottle the sun
Keep your light a secret I can find
When you are goneI just wanna write you in a song
Put your smile on paper so you can sing along
I just wanna bottle the sun
Keep your light a secret I can findWhen you are gone, gone, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone, gone
I just wanna write you in a songSo, so, so when you are gone, gone
When you are gone, gone
When you are gone, gone
I, I just wanna write you in a song
Gone, gone, gone
