Lyrics Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile

That Year

I 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

It must have been New Years

No one invited you

You took things too far

But I miss 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 sixteen

All the innocence

It took for

You to finally make the year book

That year

That year

You should have taken a long break

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
