Matchbox 20: If You're Gone (lyrics)

[JayBoy277]

This was played at my best friends funeral. One year ago next week. I love you, I miss you & I'll never, ever forget you. -3

[andrewupsidedown]

but I can hardly move

[batgirl443]

amazing song.

it makes me think of the guy i love though:/

[ThatOneJalapenoKid]

@batgirl443 you'll find your real batman someday. till then, just continue listening to good music like this. lol

[LESTERNIDOY]

I love this song =D

[foreverspagetti]

matchbox 20, i fucking love them

[damommakitty]

I like this song but it makes no sense.....

[MsBUTTERS2011]

@damommakitty he's talking to the other person who left him that since they broke up he 'll try to return to being himself. Rob is also talking to himself..when a person is in love , he tends to give everything to the other half and leave nothing for himself. hope this helps!

[bossmomusa]

how can you not like the voice of Rob Thomas, not to mention he writes all his own songs and actually sounds GREAT live

[xxJulyxx2009]

ummm why is there a random link to hacking facebooks???? ;)

[MegaJm1980]

this is the song that i love very much coz i afraid of losing my loved one (CHIQUI)

[JacobQLayson]

i like that it says throughout the video "click here to learn to hack facebook accounts" .... what does that have to do with matchbox 20? lol

[OnemoreAddictinggame]

this song always makes my think about when i lost my first girlfriend

[Sunsetstripfan]

@anonymousperson020 it was written about his now wife. They were going through a rough patch and he says a lot of people asked if they were permenately seperated and he says it's IF youre gone, saying it's how he'd feel if they had split.

[jobjed]

thumbnail says 0:00

[anonymousperson020]

in this song is he talking about a girl leaving him or something. it sounds like a girl left him and he wants her back correct?

[andyrew932]

Dream>Love

No, I'm not going back to that place...

[irrevenant3]

@theProcratinator I noticed the errors and took the time and effort to write them up so the creator could correct them. I agree that I could've spent my time in other ways, but the creator went to all this effort and I thought I'd help them out.

Do you really have nothing better to do than complain about people who are providing constructive feedback?

[Cardiovasdcular101]

awesome song! well done!

[appleprism]

There's a little bit of something me, in everything in you... Baby, you need to come home.

[Productions547]

"I bet you're hard to get over." Heh, looks like I won this bet. :(

[irrevenant3]

Some of the lyrics are mistranscribed.

0:48: No "But"

0:54: Starts with "And"

1:02: Starts with "And" (alternately end the last slide with it)

1:10 "I know it's wrong"

1:14 (and repeats) "maybe it's time to come home", not "go home"

[theProcratinator]

@irrevenant3 do you really have nothing better to do than complain about a minor mistake someone made on a youtube vid?

[iammach6]

This.......brings.......back..­.....memories.

[dlund92]

"there's an awful lot of breathing room but i can hardly move" how i always feel

[appleprism]

This song :(

[tehnoobshowloverlol]

Rob Thomas is the best. You guys should listen to "Ever the same" if you like this song

[dannixoxo100]

Love this

[realwiener]

i hope you may find your way home wherever that may be...

[mastuhofcheyuhleadin]

loveeeee

[cross662]

what they said wasn't lame it was sweet

[XxToxicSpikesxX]

"There's a little bit of something me, in everything in you..."

Love Matchbox 20! I've been listening to them since I was born, pretty much! :)

[cassurai]

i rarely comment on youtube, but it seems that most of you are too busy thinking of something witty to bash the 18 dislikers to realise the numerous obvious errors in this guy's lyrics in this video. sure, i appreciate the effort to try to put lyrics to songs for the community, but "go home" instead of "come home"? wtf? it's like the uploader didn't even proof-read before uploading.

so yeah. the 18 people might have good reason to dislike this video, not the song.

[SOLDIER7395]

@cassurai

Win.

[XxToxicSpikesxX]

@cassurai,

I completely agree. I hate it when people assume that others dislike videos because of the music, and not the video itself.

[SarahBethJ1992]

@cassurai Why does a few mistakes even matter? Its a great song! Just listen to it and stop complianing.

[cassurai]

@SarahBethJ1992 It's a great song, a classic. But this is a lyrics video. The lyrics being wrong at MANY parts of the song is GOOD REASON to dislike a lyrics video in my book. What about you?

If you read carefully, I wasn't even complaining about the uploader who made mistakes in the lyrics. That's still fairly okay. I was actually targeting those who posts smartass comments like "18 people have not found home", taking shots at dislikers. I mean come on, I dislike this video. Not the song.

[OnemoreAddictinggame]

@cassurai lol 18 people also like your comment

[klaudia599]

@cassurai Or the song could bring back a bad memory. I hate the song "The Reason" by Hoobastank. It's an amazing song but I don't like it because of the memory it brings.

[PrescottValleyMan]

it it wrong to have this playing in my mind whenever I float in dreams?

[YorkGod1]

never heard of this band....if all their songs are like this.....fucking epic!

[delaney68720]

@YorkGod1 Yeah, their AMAZING(:

[usblues100]

I'm a punk fan. This group is the only non punk or metal I listen to. I mean who can really sing like Rob Thomas?

[whisspersoft]

@usblues100 I agree so much.

[usblues100]

@whisspersoft yeah every now and then I have to turn things down a little and listen to Rob Thomas. His vocals are like a "tranquilizer" for me. Hope you are having a nice summer way up north.

[ilovejonathantoews19]

I love Matchbox 20 :)

[mimaro112607]

honey if ur gone....

[cez13able]

bhaby if your gone

[linkslap003]

I'm home now. ♥

[meanster100]

@linkslap003 :) like it ;)

[BABNetwork]

16 people didnt come home...

[gayltb]

@BABNetwork 18 people can't find home.

[krispykremedean]

PERFORMING BEFORE THEM IN MARCH 2012 AT MSG! BIGGEST MOMENT FOR ME AS A MUSICIAN!

[SujuFanForever90210]

Those 16 Dislikes..Those people were obiviously drunk.

[MiaTheBee8503]

this guy did alot of the lyrics for this song WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! and u can clearly hear then read the mistakes!!!!

[dasutube12]

@MiaTheBee8503

Where? I couldnt find any... maybe its just me, but...

[MiaTheBee8503]

@dasutube12

places even other people have pointed out on here in there comments like its come home not go home...... just one example....

[teenbry]

my boyfriend said that if ever i will leave him he will sing this song.....I said "it will never happen"

[Nicole101511]

Time to come home,can't wait to see u! <3

[TheMmagician]

[vampirehater927]

i`m pretty sure it`s ``come home`` not ``go home``

[Electroyoshi686]

16 people are gone.

[ticks4ticks4]

At 1:13 , the word "go" , which is in the lyrics, should be replaced with the word "come".

Also, examine the lyrics at 1:09 and 2:24 and 3:29 ---is the word "feeling" or "dealing"?

[NiewyspanaBlondynka]

Wiem że to jeszcze dziś przesłuchasz chłopcze w seksownym sweterku.

I'ts time to come home <3 I miss you.

[jrod9119]

I showed this song to my girlfriend and told her this would be how I felt if she left. and after 2.5 years. she's still here!

[suihiamliu]

my long lost love told me to listen to this song ,,,,,,,nw its time to go home...........<3

[BTRLOVEER]

omfg. i remember hearing this song over and over again when i was littllier and now i've finally found it! <33

[annielanier]

Boy: I Love You

Girl: Prove it. Tell it to the world.

Boy whispers to girl: I Love You

Girl: Why did you whisper?

Boy: You are my world.

[gilanthras]

@annielanier Damn. Smooth as glass.

[TheKeithCarnes]

@annielanier LAME

[LovesAnimalsForever]

@TheKeithCarnes heart less

[TheKeithCarnes]

@LovesAnimalsForever No, what you said was lame.

[sakurabloom123]

@annielanier AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!! THATS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!

[tavern2468]

@annielanier i think i just threw up in my mouth a lil.......

[dlund92]

@annielanier Girl: You don't expect me to fall for that do you?

[OnemoreAddictinggame]

@annielanier thats pretty good

[ownagepwnagemaster]

@annielanier what the fuck

[luvtheoc101]

@annielanier How much you wanna BET that you got that off of facebook

[annielanier]

@luvtheoc101 well i do have a facebook but no i didnt get it off facebook! :)

[luvtheoc101]

@annielanier Oooh! :D Sorry, I just saw that on facebook all the time! (:

[NecroEvoker]

This song reminds me of my girlfriend who had left me. Baby if you're reading this, it's time to come home...

[The15anonymous]

It's not "time to GO home." It's "time to COME home."

[honey75303]

I LOVE THIS SONG REMIND MY LOVE .I MISS HER /

[cobrasvtxyz]

U realize u got a lot of the lyrics wrong right? Not hating just letting u know

[IcefireorIcestar]

One of my good friends,best friend died a few years ago. This was his favorite song.

[WendyCrowell]

I love this song

[levyiv]

Maybe ur high, I was scerious, leave me alone devil dick 666 fuck

[CysticFibrosisHeroes]

@levyiv he was just trying to be friendly and make a joke with you, no need to be rude.

[levyiv]

How I feel

[TheWolfsBlood666]

@levyiv maybe they were high lmao

[111teesa111]

15 people accidentally hit the dislike button:):) 15 extremely douchey people... :):)

[XxToxicSpikesxX]

I've been listening to these songs since I was a little baby; I was born in 1998. I fall asleep to Matchbox Twenty. I wake up with there songs stuck in my head and sometimes forget to take out my earphones...

Matchbox Twenty should be more well-known!

[decembertwelfth2O1O]

this song makes me want to cry...

[ripgirl022]

Dang this song brings back memories. I miss college!

[LittleSweety]

This song was 10 years ago no.31 in the world charts #matchbox #20

[Selestino84]

Damn this song its very touching when you feel like in love and you don't like to see your love go away

[playerdepimp]

@Selestino84 amen, your comment made me lose it brotha

[Selestino84]

@playerdepimp Thanks!!

[loey12886]

matchbox 20 rules

[g84w68]

u won't come home, i know. but i want you know that i always love you Wayne

[rexrockandroll]

no...were not old,thanx anyway...were a new couple...starting life again, in each others arms, hearts and consciences....i love you genie...x0.pete

[solidwolf66]

....Rex, Genie, are you two.....that "old" couple?

[rexrockandroll]

NO I DONT ..YOU KNOW THAT...WE JUST HATED EACH OTHER AFTER A WHILE GENIE..AND I WONT LET THAT HAPPEN TO US, THERE IS NO F..KING WAY I WILL LET US FALL APART OR DETROY WHAT WE HAVE..OK....PLEASE TAKE MY WORD FOR THAT SWEETIE........I LOVE YOU GENIE..YOU ARE ALL I WANT IN MY LIFE, TIL THE END OF TIME....pete

[GeniesRockin]

@rexrockandroll PLEASE stop dwelling on her. It's been too long. I don't dwell on any of my past so called heartaches. They are NO longer in my heart or mind. They will never be seen nor talked about. I did let go. I just remember the good times I had with someone I dated....those fun times. The bad marriages...they are dust. Let it go....let that past GO....it's tearing us up. LET IT GO....or let me go....and I do not want that. I feel sick from the thought of you doing that. I love you

[GeniesRockin]

By the way 'rex' ...what did you do to screw it up? Do you want it all back now??? I never want any 'man' back who fkd up. Are you still doing this same thing you did to her???

[rexrockandroll]

@GeniesRockin ..AND ACTUALLY GENIE....SHE PROBABLY CANT STAND ME AND I CANT REALLY STAND HER EITHER...BUT...MY HEART HAS ONLY ROOM FOR ONE PERSON, AND SHE LIVES IN TEXAS, I WONDER WHO THAT IS?????????????CAN YOU GUESS??????????

[rexrockandroll]

laura..it took me a long time to admit this, im so sorry for fucking up..you were a great wife and i am the one that screwed up..damn...we'd be married over 27 yrs now...damn.damn.damn..miss you, and always will .....pete....

[GeniesRockin]

@rexrockandroll ...wow.... another great one.... thanks

[KelliBayless091507]

i love matchbox twenty, i always have. I know if Joey and I ever split I would sing this to him, I never want to lose him. I think that is his way of expressing that he never wants to lose this person , and so he is praying nd trying to make things work.

[rexrockandroll]

THIS REALLY REMINDS ME OF MY X LAURA AND ME WHEN OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS DYING AND FALLING APART...I DO MISS YOU, BUT ......PETE

[GeniesRockin]

@rexrockandroll ....why not keep it in you.....it leaves no room in your heart for someone else to come in....

[ndevildog13]

Why is there even a dislike button for this song?

[mandoakadito44]

@ndevildog13 that's like the best answer i've ever read that involved the dislike button.

[ndevildog13]

@mandoakadito44 thanks!

[damommakitty]

@ndevildog13  because lyrics aren't all right like 2:28

[ndevildog13]

@damommakitty right



[TheRachelmay]

what does this song really means?.. can anybody tell me



[TeeTownSounds]

@TheRachelmay

Just my Opinion:

I think it's about a disconnected relationship. They are still together but emotianally seperated/distant.

He thought they were good, but now he realizes she is not happy. He wants to change and make it work out.

[SandStormaFireStar25]

@TheRachelmay its a song about a bad realshinship and how hes tryingin to get her to stay

[chizcamae]

iF yOure gONE..tHEn i'LL go crAzy...

iF yOURe gOne..eVErytHing wiLL neveR be the saME...

[arihsmai]

I always thought it was:

I thought this place was an empire. Now I'm THE LAST, I can't be sure.

And also "I bet you're hard to get over. I bet THE MOON just won't shine" but I guess "the room" makes sense too

[BenzieCountyPS]

wow..... my friend amber died in early spring, and everytime i hear this song.... i burst out in tears.... it just wont ever be the same without her laugh and her being here with me.... love u amber! 4 ever and always.

F.E.A.L.

[DrJakeypoo]

:(

[mhsmarchingbari]

This song always reminds me of my dad. It's the last real memory I have of him before he abandoned me and my sister. I always hoped he'd come home to us. He did, and now he's serving jail time. I just want him to come home.

[morenopinett]

13 people didn't go home lol...

[coolguitarist05]

i think it's come home not go home 

[Creebo67]

Nicely Done. Excellant Audio!!!

I was wondering if you could do Candlebox "Cover Me". Nobody has a decent original of it.. All there is is crappy audio with shaky camcorder live video shots.

I really like the way you display the lyrics. Excellant synchronizing.

Thanks Buddy

Creebo67

[pquiobo]

Perfect breakup song, especially if you're being strung along...

[commentableuser]

@vanishingpointable it's not a break-up song!! it's "if your gone." he's singing that if his wife was gone he'd become... we'll listen to the lyrics. :) anyway, if you just broke up, it'll be okay, everything works out. take it from a stranger on youtube! haha..
