Cars, The - Since You're Gone Lyrics






Since you're gone
The nights are gettin' strange
Since you're gone
Well, nothing's makin' any sense
Since you're gone
I stumbled in the shade
Since you're gone
Everything's in perfect tense, well

I can't help it
When you fall apart
I (and I) can't help it
Guess you better start

That is forgettin' about you
(Since you're gone)
Since you're gone
Nights are gettin' strange
(Since you're gone)
Since you're gone
Thrownin' it all away
(Since you're gone)
Since you're gone
The nights are gettin' strange
(Since you're gone)
Since you're gone
Thrownin' it all away

I can't help it
Everything's a mess
I can't help it
You're so treacherous
When it comes, to tenderness
(Since you're gone)
I can't help it
Everything's a mess
I can't help it
You're so treacherous
Oh, where's that tenderness?
(Since you're gone)

Since you're gone
I missed the peak sensation
(Since you're gone)
Since you're gone
I took the big vacation
(Since you're gone)
Well, never feel sedate
(Since you're gone)
Well, the moonlight ain't so great
(Since you're gone)

Since you're gone
(Since you're gone)
Well, I've thrown it all away
(Since you're gone)
When the night [?]
(Since you're gone)
Strange I've thrown it all away
(Since you're gone)
Well, since you're gone
(Since you're gone)

Since you're gone
Since you're gone
(Since you're gone)
I've thrown it all away
(Since you're gone)

Cars, The Since You're Gone Comments
  1. u.... i....

    RIP Ric! Thank you and the Cars for being the soundtrack to my youth. I know you have reunited with Ben and the tunes are coming out.
    I can't believe you've gone home with God in 2019. I think you know in the eternal , like so many others my age, how I set my Record player to repeat the same Cars songs I love (THIS SONG BEING ONE OF THEM) to play over and over again for hours. That is a gift you gave me!!! Thank you!!!!!

  2. O.... ....

    "The Cars" was such a big part of my youth life back in the '80s. so sad that Ben and now Ric are no longer with us. R.I.P Ben and Ric.

  3. W.... I....

    Now he has room to set up his rock band.

  4. S.... ....

    My favorite Cars jam, hands down.

    S.... ....

    This song is magic for me too. It's a true work of great art, the mix , the harmonies, the guitars the beat - i listen to this often many years later.
    This is a masterpiece in my opinion - Ric was a musical genius The band was tight as hell

  5. A.... D....

    Oh, man, that hurt a lot more than I thought it would. RIP

  6. P.... D....

    Best cars song ever

  7. H.... L....

    a/d/s 320i speakers with a SoundStream Class A 100II.

  8. V.... U....

    Ric was a jerk. He treated the other band mates horrible especially Benjamin. It was over a minute before they showed Benjamin. The band wanted to have more input, but Ric wouldn't have it. He wrote the songs because that's where the money was. Most people didn't know that Benjamin sang so many of the songs. Benjamin was the best.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏R.I.P. BENJAMIN

  9. W.... C....

    See you later, Ric...

  10. T.... l....

    See you on the other side my brother.

  11. J.... C....

    Love them so much
    I don't have much time left
    One of my favorite songs
    Life goes on and so do you

  12. S.... D....

    The original trap beat

  13. O.... ....

    Thanks a million, Ric, for so much great music over the years. You were truly MAGIC and always JUST WHAT I NEEDED...…...

  14. t.... l....

    I'm just gonna say it.... without listing my credentials.....
    THE CARS ARE THEE SINGLE MOST "UNDER-RATED" ALT/ROCK BAND IN USA HISTORY!

    One of my favorite 80s bands as a teen. Still one of my favorites. These guys made some kick-ass music, and I had such a huge crush on the whole damn band in my teens-20s. RIP Rick and Ben. Thanks for the memories. The Cars were the shit then and still.

  19. 1.... ....

    Played this day he died

  20. 1.... ....

    Good looking 1980s poontang

  21. J.... C....

    es inevitable que fisicamente ya no estemos en el Mundo pero la genialidad que se comparte afortunadamente seguira perdurando.

  22. S.... ....

    And yet there he is with a house full of hot chicks win win

  23. L.... T....

    I’m 33 but this bands entire catalog reminds me of my parents when they were married. This was their soundtrack. They divorced when I was nine

  24. N.... F....

    Reminds me of STill Smoking

  25. d.... c....

    My High School years were filled with their music, brings back memories.

  26. M.... D....

  27. S.... I....

    Good bye. Hope you enjoyed us as much as we enjoyed you. Love stinks. Hope you found a better place to give your love to. The music .the memories.just had to be here .thank you. God forgive you.

  28. M.... ....

    As a teenager in the early 80's the Cars was a staple of our everyday life. We couldnt youtube of play on demand. It was special. I do enjoy being able to hear this song whenever i want now. When this first landed it was the shit. The song Drive, wow, that overtook Urgent by Foreigner and many others. This is a legendary band

  29. G.... T....

    Much like the Chrome Grill that Adorns A Late 40's Buick While they will never Again be churning them off the Assembly line they Still Shine like a Diamond in the Sun

  30. A.... L....

    My all time favorite song & video❤ RIP Ric Ocasek😪

    @1:18 Those are some weird looking eggs.

  32. l.... d....

    All time best 80s band Im still rocking them

  33. J.... I....

    When's the party for New Earth and Heaven waiting on leadership skills

  34. J.... ....

    The days of drinking under age, skipping high school classes, thinking I was the coolest guy ever, home speakers in my car that really didn't work that well, hating my parents for no real good reason, wondering why I couldn't get babes like you, playing pinball while skipping class, wearing and thinking wild neon colors would never die.....and so much more.....thanks Rick, it was a blast, and I would do it all again in a heartbeat if God only granted me one wish..........

  35. E.... M....

    SINCE YOU'RE GONE Ric ...😭

  36. F.... O....

    Con esta música puedo vivir feliz toda mi vida

  37. M.... B....

    1981. These kinds of songs make me think "where were you in 1981?"

    Also, 1981, Ric is wearing that trademark 80's Miami Vice/Vice City Blue and Pink already.

  48. R.... P....

    Back again after a month or so since we all lost Ric. This stuff was just too good. Hope that Ric and Benjamin are working on all of those great new tunes for when we get there

  49. W.... ....

    I was always a metal head. But I had 3 bands I loved that were not metal. ABBA, The Psychedelic Furs, and The Cars. I can’t explain it. But I’m glad I step out of the box....a little.

  58. C.... B....

    When I was a young lad, my 10 year older brother liked two bands - the Cars and the Doors. I remember thinking that was funny - the Car Doors. Little did I know I'd grow up to love both bands.
