Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I get the same old dreams same time every night
Fall to the ground, and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the break-up

[Pre-Chorus]
These four walls are closing in
Look at the fix you've put me in

[Chorus]
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

[Verse 2]
So in the night, I stand, beneath the back street light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the nighttime comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

[Chorus]
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Since you been gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
If you will come back, baby, you know
You'll never do wrong

[Chorus]
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Could I be wrong, but since you been gone
You cast the spell, so break it
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
Since you been gone, since you been gone
I'm out of my head, can't take it
