Future Islands Long Flight

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Just ‘cause you needed a hand
