Long Flight Lyrics
[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]
And 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
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]
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 thinking about?"
It couldn't be me
[Chorus]
And 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
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
Just 'cause you needed a hand
And 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
Just cause you needed a hand
Just cause you needed a hand
Just cause you needed a hand
Just cause you needed a hand
[Outro]
Just ‘cause you needed a hand

SAM HERRING:
The beginning of this, what would become In Evening Air: the first songs we wrote were in the very end of 2008, that time we had just done our first 2 US tours we did 4 months of solid touring, it was the first time we had done that, and over that time I broke up with my girlfriend. We...
