long flight

Future Islands

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
