We've Met Songtext
von Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

We′ve met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it in your face, should have never left this place
We′ve met, before you were a Christian
Before your eyes were blue, did all that get you through?

Do you know how long I've waited?
Do you know how long I waited for you?

Dream big, that's what you used to tell me before I went away
And would you say the same today?
You knew, that I couldn′t work the foundry
And I couldn′t play the fool and I couldn't stay for you


And the drunks all think we′ve made it
And the girls all twist and shake it like they do
My playground fears have faded
Replaced with grown-up nightmares that come true

We've met, where city was the country and mountain was the sea
Did I even look like me?
And I bet this town is in your blood now
But it didn′t have to be, no, it didn't have to be

We thought we′d find the answer
In the troubadours and dancers, brand new
Do you think I've learned my lesson?
Did I make a new impression on you?

We've met, I can tell you don′t remember
I can see it in your face
Should have never left this place
