Tailwind

Tell me, would you listen?
I'd walk around the streets without a clue just to find you
and honestly I must admit the truth
Lately I've been feeling black and blue
I never knew that you were just bad news
Maybe I was wrong to make you choose
But I never thought I'd see this side of you

I know, I know that's what I wanted
I know, I know that's what I wanted
But the rain is coming and the sky is falling down
Can you see all of the lights and hear the stunning sounds?
There's a tailwind blowing thirty miles south
I never wanted anything, so please just hear me out

Tell me, would you be there through the nervous nights and shitty flights I flew
just to see you?
I was unaware, I guess I never knew
Your life's defined by the things you never do

I know, I know that's what I wanted
I know, I know that's what I wanted
But the sky is falling and this picture is coming down
Can you see all of the lights and all the stunning sounds?
There's a tailwind blowing thirty miles south
I never wanted anything, please just hear me out
Please just hear me out

You're killing time, you're changing face
You made me feel so out of place
I always thought that we would stay the same, that you and I could never change
I never thought that we would fade away, but I had my doubts
I always thought that you could turn the page, but I had my doubts
The flame in me that burned for you is gone, I put it out
