Song: Already Gone by Sugarland
I don't own the song- only the idea.
Kind of a Tokio Hotel thing- but Tom's the only one in this...
My Mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands you shake and which hands you hold
In my hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll
She knew that I had to go
And hangout, make lots of noise
Make the mistakes that she made
'cause she knew all along
My mother knew I would turn out just like her. She also knew there was nothing she could do about it. She could only set me free- let me make my own mistakes. If I think too much about it I begin to convince myself that letting me go was her biggest mistake. The world wasn't ready for me- and I sure as hell wasn't ready for it.
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
That day I had my car loaded down with the only items I would need. My father kept insisting he drive me to the airport- My mother wanted nothing more then for me to stay one night more. But it was time for me to go- to leave the nest, spread my wings. Too bad I had no idea what lay bellow.
They say the first time won't ever last
But that didn't stop me, the first time he laughed
"Hey, Tomi! Catch!" A football came barrelling out of nowhere and smacked me right in the forehead. Tom laughed his ass off- he had my heart in the palm of his hand.
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
"Girl, don't you lose your heart yet"
"First love never lasts, remember that," My mother's words rang in my ears- but I chose to ignore them, as well as the warnings and pleas of my friends. He was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. The shyness behind those eyes. It was nothing I had ever experienced before.
But his dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his torch burning me up, but still I held on
"Name's Tom Kaulitz," His smile took my breath away- I had no chance.
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
The night he asked me to marry him I thought the world had stopped turning. There was no way he could be serious. Yet there he was, on one knee with a ring pinched between his thumb and forefinger- biggest mistake of my life.
The last time I saw him, we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other
It just didn't work out. He was a rockstar- I was a small town girl destined to play out my mothers life step-by-step.
We split the blame for the parts
that we couldn't change
Pictures, dishes and socks
It's our whole life down to one box
There he was waving goodbye on the
front porch alone
Tom stood on the porch while I drove away with our children- best things in my life, the only proof left of our love.
But I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Hangout, make lots of noise
And layout late with a boy
Make the mistakes that she made,
life is a runaway train
And here I am today. There's no way I would change a single mistake I made in all of my life. Don't regret a moment of your life- because the person you are today was created by the mistakes you made yesterday.
My mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold
In my hand-me-down Mercury
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
I'm not really expecting much feedback on this.
But it is appreciated!
