Long Flight lyrics
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.
