"Long Flight" lyrics - 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

[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

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
