We walked into the pines And sat amongst the graves You told me you´d been fine Since I poisoned your life
And it was so good to hear After so many years Not for the pain But to hear you say anything real
Well I´ve been working nights In and out of fights and flights Kites in storms Forgot this war
When I had to run We didn´t leave it all said and done But will it be tonight? Something in the cold of your eyes says, "Tonight."
I knew you I knew you as you were, not as you are
You knew me too But I´m not the same, it´s not the way The way, you´re used to
You asked me to stay Asked me to stay awake, ´til the morning breaks In someone else´s place
But I fell to sleep Ashamed of where I shouldn´t be Woke to you shaking me
He drove all night to find you I think that you knew He´d drive all night Cuz all that you sighed Was, "what if ‘Long Flight´ was about you?" But it was and it was about you too
Then I had to run And now we´ll leave it all said and done What did you think he´d find? Something in the cold of your eyes said, "Goodbye."
I knew you I knew you as you were, not as you are You knew me too But it´s not the same -- not the way The way, you used to
