Had to Be There

I hear the drips and drones of a nightmare
I let you slip in my head
now I'm almost ready for a night laced with oceans and hot air
your mind's a cold, crazy place
now I'm almost ready for you
all I was thinking all night is how I wanted to be there

and there's nothing I could say that would sway your eyes
you had already faced it
I'm dragging up the lines that you had to be there
and there's nothing I could say that would change your mind
you were already wasted
you had to be there

I say alright, let's wake up from this nightmare
it's time to let it all go
and just hold on tight
and ride it back the same way that it came here
where we're lying awake praying for the wave to take us
all I was thinking all night is how I wanted to be there

and there's nothing I could say that would sway your eyes
you had already faced it
I'm dragging up the lines that you had to be there
and there's nothing I could say that would change your mind
you were already wasted
you had to be there

old lines, they fade with time in the salty air
those cold nights where feelings change in the summer air
old lies, they fade with time in the salty air
those cold night where feelings change in the summer air

and there's nothing I could say that would sway your eyes
you had already faced it
I'm dragging up the lines that you had to be there
and there's nothing I could say that would change your mind
you were already wasted
you had to be there
