Jefferson Starship - Before I Go Lyrics






Turn me around, don't let me walk out forever
If there's a chance, the slightest chance, darling never say never
You know it's out of my hands, 'cos I'm in way over my head

But it won't take me long, you could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our love

Now if there's something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go, before I go

Angel of pride, girl won't you come and release me
Is it such a crime, oh such a crime, to surrender so easy
You know how hard I've tried, well maybe I've tried too damn hard
But it won't take you long, you can break this liaison

And if there's something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go,

I don't know where this road ever ends
The point of existence, your die-hard resistance
And I don't know where the shoulder begins
And gravity crumbles, tenacity tumbles

But it won't take me long, you could blink and I'll be gone
In your dark oversight, there must be one last breath of our life

If there's something I can say, to make you see it half my way
Just tell me once, before I go
And if there's something I can do, to make it all back up to you
Just tell me once, before I go,

And if there's something I can say, to make you, make you see it half my way
(Just tell me once), before I go, before I go

Ooh tell me once before I go
If there, if there's something I can say to you
To make you see it half my way, tell me, tell me
If there's something I can say, oh now baby, to make you turn around...

Jefferson Starship Before I Go Comments
  1. G.... E....

    Had this album on cassette back in the day. Love this album, and this is a favorite from it.

  2. L.... A....

    Esta banda sono mucho en mexico para ser mas especifico Tampico tams. 1985 con su album knee deep on the hoopla y su exito we built the city gratos recueedos de mis 20s.

  3. C.... S....

    Oooohhhhhh amazing music relax my life...thank you...good times Starship...forever...by Cardoso from Brazil!!!

  4. d.... ....

    me traes recuerdos este tema, nostalgia..tenia 7 años..

  5. s.... a....

    es hermosa esta song.....

  6. b.... h....

    genial tema.....before i go.....track numero 7.....grabado entre principios y mediados de 1985 que forma parte del disco "Knee Deep in the hoopla".....vocal principal mickey thomas y voz de fondo grace slick...sonido del tema.....poprock suave....

  7. d.... ....

    "Love among the cannibals" this is the best album, but this song before i go is very good song too!!

    d.... ....

    Cannibals was great!

  8. d.... ....

    y la balada nothing gone stop now

  9. d.... ....

    a decir verdad starship es una gran banda pero tiene pocos temas buenos y los buenos son los similares a def leppard o toto bryan adams, los mejores para mi son the burn, its no enouth, y esta before i go,

    d.... ....

    Que tiene pocos buenos? Pues escucha todos sus álbumes y sacas fácil otros 10 temas, wild again, didn,t mean to stay all Night, jane, no way out, trouble in mind solo por mencionar otros y si es verdad que tienen en algunas canciones un sonido similar a las bandas que mencionas pero no dejan de ser una banda que se distingue a las demás y mas vieja que algunas mencionadas.. Saludos

    d.... ....

    Amigos les puedo decir que Starship no es similar a ninguna banda por el simple hecho de tener a Mickey Thomas que vale aclarar su voz no tiene ningún parecido o similitud con la de Joe Elliot, ni de ningún vocalista de Toto, así que dicho esto puedo decir que Starship tiene un sonido netamente original. Saludos!

  10. M.... J....

    Pero que banda tan peculiar y que sonido tan fino y ameno 😍 esta es de las pocas bandas ochenteras que sin ser tan comerciales dejaron bastantes canciones muy profesionales para disfrutar y recordar esas épocas que muchos no tuvimos el privilegio de vivirla, pero por alguna razón fuimos influenciados por esa época de oro, que sin duda alguna fue la mejor.
    Mi época favorita 100%. gracias a quien la publico y gracias aun mas a Starship por dejarnos tan gratos recuerdos musicales dignos de disfrutar y por supuesto compartir también!!

    M.... J....

    Rolonon! hermano!😱😎

  11. r.... s....

    I knew sooner or late Will smith and penny would get trapped in space ? and they would have to call Grace Slick and Mickey thomas to get them out???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

  12. r.... s....

    Just set the alarm clock? maybe i will wake up someday?

  13. h.... h....

    still good music....

  14. P.... O....

    Awesome song and with it lots of great memories that. keep running in my mind

  15. D.... ....

    Some say Starship sold out when they went from Jefferson Starship. I disagree. You can only make so many 70's albums. Starship had to do what they had to in order to compete with the current music of the 80's. And they did a great job! But some will say that is "selling out" :P

    D.... ....

    I don't think they were selling out at all. It's just the butthurt hippies who couldn't accept times and music trends were changing.

  16. W.... E....

    estoy escuchando esta rola hoy domingo con una cerveza bien fria y no se si tengo miedo que se me acabe la cerveza o la rola que esta buena el punto es que ya no tengo cervezas pero si puedo escuchar la rola mas

  17. J.... N....

    ..de las mejores canciones de Starship!

    J.... N....

    y a mi me gusta the burn y its not enough! y este también me gusta mucho..!

  18. M.... ....

    Wonderful song.

  19. R.... C....

    Época que não volta mais.

  20. s.... e....

    The 80's indeed.
    This song could almost be a Heart composition from that time.
    The sound is similar in its song structure and studio execution.
    Both bands hit their "bigger "commercial stride in that era. Good for them and us.
    Though I suspect some of the band member's may regret it now from recent interviews with some of them.
    MTV also had a huge amount to do with their success back then.
    Still, its great "nostalgia" hearing this song again. Always thought it was one of the best off the LP..

  21. j.... p....

    I love it

  22. b.... c....

    Me gusta mucho está canción.

  23. A.... P....

    me gusta esta canción cuando estaba en la escuela 5.grado.

  24. M.... D....

    first time i listen this Starship song in 1986..love this song till now..another song is Sara..

    M.... D....

    Tomorrow doesn't matter tonight is good too.

    M.... D....

    The greatest hits is really good.

  25. R.... V....

    Absolutely 80s

  26. C.... H....

    Music of the 80's........the BEST EVER.....EVER.....EVER!!!!

    C.... H....

    Amen!! People of today don't get it.

    C.... H....

    AMEN!!!!

    C.... H....

    Amen!!! There will never be a time as magnificent and special as that again! I just want to return to the 80s forever and never leave!!

    C.... H....

    Yes indeed! The golden years!

    C.... H....

    You have never lied.

  27. N.... S....

    LEJOS EL MEJOR TEMA DE LA BANDA...

  28. b.... b....

    3 gr8 cds.

  29. D.... B....

    this song only went to #68 on the pop charts in 1986!!!

    D.... B....

    @Daniel Burns One of my favorite Jefferson Starship tracks. It definitely did not get its due with regards to airplay or chart ratings.

    D.... B....

    +jayes12 That's because there was so much great music coming out at the time. They could only play and promote so much at once. Now days it's rare there's ever a decent song out within a single year.

    D.... B....

    It's a good song, but I think "Hearts of the World" (for a new wavey upbeat song) or "Desperate Heart" (for a ballad) would've been better singles.

  30. E.... J....

    I remember roller skating to this back in 86. The d.j meant to play we built this city and accidently played this. Needless to say, when he tried to change it, we all booed. So, we got to skate to this.

    E.... J....

    In my opinion here, I like this song better than We Built This City. That song is good too, I just like this one a little better

    E.... J....

    @tv5killaz chicago I agree tv5! As a Rock drummer, this song is much more fun (more difficult however, with the multiple "Rests", vs. basic 16th note hammering required by "We Built this City"-which I enjoy also! However, "Before I Go" is more intense and deep) You have GR8 taste tv5!

    E.... J....

    best mistake

  31. R.... P....

    Just seeing the album cover takes me way back. I had the cassette and listened to it on my Aiwa Walkman.

  32. R.... H....

    Love Starship, and love all of their music. Reminds this 40 year old man of the better times and great music of the 80's!

  33. P.... O....

    another awesome good old song from the best era ever the 80'S

  34. k.... m....

    great voice of mickey thomas

    k.... m....

    Lovr his voice! So awesome!

    k.... m....

    You have never lied my friend.

  35. J.... H....

    Great song!!!

  36. M.... B....
