1
I got back from a long flight,
2
You said you'd meet me there,
3
I've been tripping off constellations and stars.
4
I found you at home, what was our home,
5
With another man, oh man.
6
Been keeping you in my heart.
7
-------------------------------
8
And so I whispered into your ear,
9
"What are you thinking about?"
10
You just looked up at the stars
11
And so I whispered into your ear,
12
"Who are you thinking about?"
13
It couldn't be me
14
--------------------------------
15
You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
16
Without the rivers to tend.
17
Because you remember our love was true,
18
But you just needed a hand,
19
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
20
Without yourself to defend.
21
You know you hurt me so bad,
22
Just "˜cause you needed a hand.
23
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
24
I really wanted you there.
25
But you ruined what was love
26
Just "˜cause you needed a hand
27
-------------------------
28
This is the way that it all falls.
29
This is how I feel,
30
This is what I need:
31
You, by me--right here--by me,
32
Right now.
33
------------------------
34
And so I whispered into your ear,
35
"What are you thinking about?"
36
You just looked up at the stars
37
And so I whispered into your ear,
38
"Who are you thinking about?"
39
It couldn't be me
40
--------------------------------
41
You can't look me in my eyes anymore,
42
Without the rivers to tend,
43
"˜Cause you remember our love was true,
44
But you just needed a hand.
45
And you can't look me in my eyes anymore,
46
Without yourself to defend.
47
You know you hurt me so bad,
48
Just "˜cause you needed a hand.
49
And I went off and saw things I've never seen,
50
I really wanted you there.
51
But you ruined what was love,
52
Just "˜cause you needed a hand
53
---------------------------
54
Just "˜cause you needed a hand.
