The Man I Knew - Audiotree Live Version

By the time that you told me
 It was already plain that you've changed
 But your conscience was clean
 And as white as a line of cocaine
 My back to the wall of your bedroom apartment
 You're talking in circles
 Got your cigarettes burning
 And I couldn't hide I'm afraid I was to see you so
 strange
 Don't get me wrong
 I've got no ill will for you
 It's just been so long
 I thought I'd always know you
 But you're so far gone
 Up where the air gets thin
 You cut the kite strings
 I've read my name in lights
 I've seen my face in papers
 But my civilian life I spent 10 good years
 Waiting for you
 You charmed a snake
 You picked the card
 You bent the spoon
 A curved plane
 Shapes change
 Euclid's made to play the fool but you
 I don't know what that stuff does to you
 And I don't know if it's real but
 I spent a decade in love with you
 And I can't tell if you're here
 I don't think that he can hear me now
 So dizzy with the altitude
 Just too far
 Who am I to tell you to come down
 (Lucky that my? don't perly go poisoned)
 Who am I to tell you to come down
 (Sit back and raise a glass, a glass to ease your
 choices)
 Who am I to tell you to come down
 I don't think that he can hear me now
 So dizzy with the altitude
 Just too far
 Tell you.
 Last night you came to kiss me in a dream but when I
 woke
 What kind of foolishness is this breathe out a lungful
 of your smoke
 I've seen you?
 Let it burn
 I've seen you at your brightest what a mind
 let it burn
 so who am i to serve you on my terms?
 So who am I to tell you to come down
