I Knew You

We walked into the pines
 And sat amongst the graves
 You told me you'd been fine
 Since I poisoned your life
 And it was so good to hear
 After so many years
 Not for the pain
 But to hear you say anything real
 Well, I've been working nights
 In and out of fights and flights
 Kites in storms
 Forgot this war
 When I had to run
 ♪
 We didn't leave it all said and done
 But will it be tonight?
 
 Something in the cold of your eyes says, "Tonight"
 I knew you
 
 I knew you as you were, not as you are
 You knew me too
 But I'm not the same, it's not the way
 The way you used to
 ♪
 You asked me to stay
 Asked me to stay awake
 'Til the morning breaks in someone else's place
 But I fell to sleep
 Ashamed of where I shouldn't be
 Woke to you shaking me
 He drove all night to find you
 Whoa, I think that you knew
 He'd drive all night
 'Cause all that you sighed
 Was, "What if 'Long Flight' was about you?"
 But it was and it was about you, too
 Then I had to run
 ♪
 And now we'll leave it all said and done
 What did you think he'd find?
 
 Something in the cold of your eyes said, "Goodbye"
 I knew you
 
 I knew you as you were, not as you are
 You knew me too
 But it's not the same, not the way
 The way you used to
 ♪
 I knew you
 Not like I used to
