Lyrics & Translation
English
We walked into the pines
And sat amongst the graves
You told me you'd been fine
Since I poisoned your life
And it was so good to hear
After so many years
Not for the pain
But to hear you say anything real
Well, I've been working nights
In and out of fights and flights
Kites in storms
Forgot this war
When I had to run
We didn't leave it all said and done
But will it be tonight?
Something in the cold of your eyes says, "Tonight"
I knew you
I knew you as you were, not as you are
You knew me too
But I'm not the same, it's not the way
The way, you're used to
You asked me to stay
Asked me to stay awake, 'til the morning breaks
In someone else's place
But I fell asleep
Ashamed of where I shouldn't be
Woke to you shaking me
He drove all night to find you
I think that you knew
He'd drive all night
'Cause all that you sighed
Was, "What if 'Long Flight' was about you?"
But it was and it was about you too
Then I had to run
And now we'll leave it all said and done
What did you think he'd find?
Something in the cold of your eyes said, "Goodbye"
I knew you
I knew you as you were, not as you are
You knew me too
But it's not the same, not the way
The way, you used to
I knew you
Not like I used to

I Knew You (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Caminamos entre los pinos
Y nos sentamos entre las tumbas
Me dijiste que habías estado bien
Desde que envenené tu vida
Y fue tan bueno escuchar
Después de tantos años
No por el dolor
Sino por oírte decir algo real
Bueno, he estado trabajando de noche
Entrando y saliendo de peleas y vuelos
Cometas en tormentas
Olvidé esta guerra
Cuando tuve que correr
No lo dejamos todo dicho y hecho
¿Pero será esta noche?
Algo en el frío de tus ojos dice: "Esta noche"
Te conocía
Te conocía como eras, no como eres
Tú también me conocías
Pero no soy el mismo, no es la manera
La manera a la que estás acostumbrada
Me pediste que me quedara
Me pediste que me quedara despierto, hasta que amaneciera
En el lugar de otra persona
Pero me quedé dormido
Avergonzado de donde no debería estar
Me desperté contigo sacudiéndome
Él condujo toda la noche para encontrarte
Creo que tú sabías
Él conduciría toda la noche
Porque todo lo que suspiraste
Fue: "¿Y si 'Vuelo Largo' era sobre ti?"
Pero lo era y también era sobre ti
Entonces tuve que correr
Y ahora lo dejaremos todo dicho y hecho
¿Qué pensaste que encontraría?
Algo en el frío de tus ojos dijo: "Adiós"
Te conocía
Te conocía como eras, no como eres
Tú también me conocías
Pero no es lo mismo, no es la manera
La manera a la que estabas acostumbrada
Te conocía
No como antes
