Lyrics of You in a song

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, gone

You 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 all

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, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone, gone
I just wanna write you in a song

Most 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 song

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

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, gone
When you are gone, gone, gone, gone
I just wanna write you in a song

So, 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
