Elijah

歌詞

We were two kids growing up You were twenty-three, I was twenty-one Too young to know what we were getting into But dammit, ain't that just what you do? When the fireworks fly on a neon-light Friday night When you find the kind of love, you dive into headfirst But it burned out, and that's how fire works Went from a hundred miles to nothing and broke our hearts in two We went from lovers back to strangers Now two years later, I'd never thought I'd get to tell you I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya I'd pour the shots back in the glass Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars Yeah, I wouldn't take the long nights back I'd pull all the reds out of the pack Smoke 'em again, you should know that I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya Elijah Never knew I had to lose myself and go through hell To write down, sing about, everything a broken heart goes through Kinda crazy now writing this song for you 'Cause you were out there searching for me, part two Sad to say, she probably knew the truth Now I know that you knew too Kinda crazy what we both went through I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya I'd pour the shots back in the glass Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars Yeah, I wouldn't take the long nights back I'd pull all the reds out of the pack Smoke 'em again, you should know that I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya Elijah Elijah Look what 730 days without you turned into And thank God I was never just about, just about over you I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya I'd pour the shots back in the glass Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars Yeah, I wouldn't take the long nights back I'd pull all the reds out of the pack Smoke 'em again, you should know that I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find ya Elijah Elijah Elijah
