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

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

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 thinking about?»

It couldn’t be me

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

Just ‘cause you needed a hand
