When it's over and done, then it's gone

If a tree falls when we’re in the forest and comes down upon us
Like hammer on nail, who will notice
Bat even an eyelid? 
If you knew what I did, then why would you care? 
 
If the banks burst while we’re by the river and I can’t deliver the things that I said, 
If my heart fails and with it my promise, if we’re being honest, I’m better off dead 
 
Life can never be all that you long for it to be, symmetry and time ain’t best friends
But I’m reluctant to admit that it’s over, I won’t quit
I’ll hang on ‘til the bitter end 
 
If the land slides while we’re on the hillside my darling I can’t lie, I knew it would come 
If there’s one thing that’s sure in this lifetime, you’ll get yours, and I mine
When it’s done, then it’s gone 
When it’s over and done, then it’s gone, gone, gone
When it’s over and done, then it’s gone
