"Your Longing Is Gone" lyrics

"Your Longing Is Gone"

It used to really feel like we were high flying
You could say our days were too good to be true
I loved it when you showed me that inside you were dying
Like I had to answer that pull from you
And then the leaves changed shades and up they flew
Your longing is gone
Now don't go trying to force it
Your longing is gone
I'm gonna leave with the morning dew

I've got a list of places where I'll find my freedom
You could see me somewhere not thinking of you
Well maybe it's because I gave you too much of what you were needing
But the real reasons are fading and shading in the blue
And then the sea grew dark and up it flew
Your longing is gone
It was sweet like a summer sky
Your longing is gone
I just got used to it being all mine

For a while we were the only thing that mattered in our lives
How did you make me believe
In such a sweet, in such a free, in such a cool thing

Your longing is gone
It doesn't matter what I do
Your longing is gone
I'm gonna leave with the morning dew
Your longing is gone
I'm gonna leave with the morning dew
