Elijah Songtext
von Priscilla Block

We were two kids growin′ up, you were 23, I was 21
Too young to know what we were gettin' into
But damn it, ain′t that just what you do?
When the fireworks fly on a neon light, Friday night
When you find the kind of love, you dive into headfirst
But it burned out, and that's how fire works

Went from hundred miles to nothin' and broke our hearts in two
We went from lovers back to strangers
Now two years later, I′d never thought I′d get to tell you

I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find you
I′d pour the shots back in the glass
Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars
Yeah, I wouldn't take the long nights back

I′d pull all the reds out of the pack
Smoke 'em again, you should know that
I′d do it all again, take the long way around to find you
Elijah


Never knew I had to lose myself and go through hell
To write down, sing about, everything a broken heart goes through
Kinda crazy now writin' this song for you

'Cause you were out there searchin′ for me, part two
Sad to say, she probably knew the truth
Now I know that you knew too
Kinda crazy what we both went through

I′d do it all again, take the long way around to find you
I'd pour the shots back in the glass
Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars
Yeah, I wouldn′t take the long nights back

I'd pull all the reds out of the pack
Smoke ′em again, you should know that
I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find you
Elijah
Elijah

Look what 730 days without you turned into
And thank God I was never just about, just about over you

I′d do it all again, take the long way around to find you
I'd pour the shots back in the glass
Put my lonely heart in the lonely bars
Yeah, I wouldn't take the long nights back


I′d pull all the reds out of the pack
Smoke ′em again, you should know that
I'd do it all again, take the long way around to find you
Elijah
Mmm
Elijah
