Artist: Brandi Carlile Album: Give Up the Ghost (2009) Title: That Year
Lyrics That YearI must have been sleeping, I must have been drinking I haven't been dreaming about you for years There was a sharp turn and a sunburn I was too cool for high school that year, that year
It must have been New Year's No one invited you, you took things too far But I missed you and your antics You were lonesome and blue eyed And so special to us
You should have taken a long break Instead of a long drop from a high place Ten years I never spoke your name Now it feels good to say it you're my friend again
He said he forgave you, I said I hated you He was the bigger man, I was 16 All the innocence it took for you To finally make your yearbook that year
You could have taken some time away Instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith Ten years I never spoke your name Now it feels good to say that you're my friend again You're my friend again
I was angry, I was a Baptist I was a daughter, I was wrong |
