When I'm Gone

Sorry, guys - long time, no post.
I havn't ever really taken a listen to Simple Plan, but, like many other artists, I have always wanted to and never really gotten around to it. Recentlly I heard this track by the group, and I immediantly hooked by the catchy beat and awesome lyrics.
When I'm Gone is really a cool song; like I said, I am not a Simple Plan fan, per se ... so maybe this mix of techno and pop-punk is typical for the group. If so, rock on; these guys pull it off well. If not, and it's something they simply adopted for this track ... hey, that works too. Either way, they've come up with a catchy, upbeat song that's caught my attention, at least.

The song itself may not be one that seems too deep when you first listen to it - it's basically just another breakup song - but if you take a minute to really pay attention, these guys have come up with some pretty great lyrics.
So, here's When I'm Gone by Simple Plan. Enjoy!

Simple Plan - When I'm Gone Music Video



When I'm Gone
Simple Plan

We're doing it

I look around me
But all I seem to see
Is people going no where
Expecting sympathy

It's like we're going through the motions
Of a scripted destiny
Tell me where's our inspiration
If life wont wait
I guess it's up to me

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back, your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Procrastination, running circles in my head
While you sit there contemplating
You wound up left for dead (left for dead)
Life is what happens while you're busy making your excuses
Another day, another casualty
And that won't happen to me

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back, your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone-

Let's go!

Won't look back
When I say goodbye
I'm gonna leave this a hole behind me
Gonna take what's mine tonight
Because every wasted day becomes a wasted chance
You're gonna wake up feeling sorry
Because life wont wait
I guess it's up to you

Woah!
No, we're not gonna waste another moment in this town
Woah!
And we won't come back, your world is calling out
Woah!
We'll leave the past in the past
Gonna find the future
If misery loves company, well
So long, you'll miss me when I'm gone

Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
