Brandi Carlile - A Long Goodbye

Did you hear the one about the girl Who'd never seen a cactus tree? In her mind, she traveled around the world But never saw a plane 'til 17 While knuckling the armrest only bound for Idaho Hoping for the best, but you don't know what you don't know That 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 by you 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 Doing 90 in a 45 on Ambien and Jack 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 you 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 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 all night It's only life after all It's a blink of an eye It's a long goodbye It's a long goodbye It's a long Goodbye
