Future Islands - Long flight lyrics
Your rating:
I got back from a long flight, You said you'd meet me there, I've been tripping off constellations and stars. I found you at home, what was our home, With another man, oh man. Been keeping you in my heart. ------------------------------- And so I whispered into your ear, "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear, "Who are you thinking about?" It couldn't be me -------------------------------- You can't look me in my eyes anymore, Without the rivers to tend. Because you remember our love was true, But you just needed a hand, And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, Without yourself to defend. You know you hurt me so bad, Just 'cause you needed a hand. And I went off and saw things I've never seen, I really wanted you there. But you ruined what was love Just 'cause you needed a hand ------------------------- This is the way that it all falls. This is how I feel, This is what I need: You, by me--right here--by me, Right now. ------------------------ And so I whispered into your ear, "What are you thinking about?" You just looked up at the stars And so I whispered into your ear, "Who are you thinking about?" It couldn't be me -------------------------------- You can't look me in my eyes anymore, Without the rivers to tend, 'Cause you remember our love was true, But you just needed a hand. And you can't look me in my eyes anymore, Without yourself to defend. You know you hurt me so bad, Just 'cause you needed a hand. And I went off and saw things I've never seen, I really wanted you there. But you ruined what was love, Just 'cause you needed a hand --------------------------- Just 'cause you needed a hand
