You
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember when we met
Me drunk and you so sad
I tried to cheer you up but my jokes weren′t funny enough

Your eyes they'd shine so green
Awoke me from my dream
An angel in disguise
Much better, to my surprise

But then, we came to an end
We couldn′t be friends
And now it's been a while since I've heard from you

It′s been a while since I′ve heard from you
Let me ask you
How do you do?
'Cause it′s been a while since I've heard from you
Time passes and I′m
Searching for signs
That you wanna meet up one more time with me

It's been a while since I′ve heard from you

Let's go back to the start
You slipped right through my arms
Said that I shouldn't follow
Leave all the pain for me to swallow

Why can′t we just pretend
That we′re not fools but friends?
Trust me my words are true
My heart's broken but it beats for you

′Cause I, I just can't deny
That you′re always mine
Although it's been a while since I′ve heard from you

You, let me ask you
How do you do?
'Cause it's been a while since I′ve heard from you
Time passes and I′m
Searching for signs
That you wanna meet up one more time with me

It's been a while since I′ve heard from you

With me underneath the sun
And all the foolish and crazy things that we've done
We didn′t last for long
But I miss the times with you

Let me ask you
How do you do
'Cause it′s been a while since I've heard from you
Time passes and I'm
Searching for signs
That you wanna meet up one more time with me

That you wanna meet up one more time with me





It′a been a while since I′ve heard from you
