I met you at the corner under the streetlight You were staring west, following tail lights I already knew how this would end So I said a prayer on my torn and bleeding knees A plane crashed before I finished speaking Flames took over the November night Screams and wails roared from dissipating turbines I wish they tore up every piece of me My eyes were steady when the wings broke apart I stood with the stone on my shoulders Even when the smoke filled my lungs I forgave you, I had no choice but to lie We held each other amid of the wreckage Engines and fuel went up like the 4th of July I knew what was going to happen then So I bought a ticket for the next flight

I met you at the corner under the streetlight You were staring west, following tail lights I already knew how this would end So I said a prayer on my torn and bleeding knees A plane crashed before I finished speaking Flames took over the November night Screams and wails roared from dissipating turbines I wish they tore up every piece of me My eyes were steady when the wings broke apart I stood with the stone on my shoulders Even when the smoke filled my lungs I forgave you, I had no choice but to lie We held each other amid of the wreckage Engines and fuel went up like the 4th of July I knew what was going to happen then So I bought a ticket for the next flight
That secret that you knew, but you don't know how to tell It ***** with your honor, and it teases your head -Bon Iver
