Did you hear the one about the girl?
He'd never seen a cactus tree
In her mind she traveled around the world
But never saw a plane till seventeen
Wide knuckling the armrest Only bound for Idaho
Hoping for the best But you don't know what you don't know
But it only takes a window seat
To see the world was underwater too
And I only had to lose my way
To be found by you
To be found
He went out the window on a New Year's Day
And shattered his body on a downtown street
Yeah, we're all just a broken heart away
From making a promise that we're forced to
keep Doin' ninety in a forty-five on ambient
track
The spinning wheel makes a ticking sound
And sometimes it lands on black
Some kids make it home at night
And some kids never do I almost had to lose my mind
To be found by you
To be found by
There's a picture of you on your grandma's wall
You and your hair are straight and light
It's just an awkward moment that's locked in
time
But I can see Elijah in your eyes
What I wouldn't give to hold you in those days
And still,
what if we had broke up over a jagged little pill?
We don't curse the broken miles of age
That it takes to see this through
Yeah,
I probably had to lose those years To be found by you
I know I had to lose my way
To be found by you
In a moment everything could change
Anything can change
Let it go, keep it light
Let it snow,
let the wind blow
It's only life
after all
It's the blink of an eye
It's a long goodbye
It's a long goodbye It's a long
