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've been thinking all night is how I wanted to be there

And there's nothing I could say that can sway your eyes you had already faced it

While I'm draggin up the lines that you had be there

And there's nothing I can say that could change your mind you were already wasted

By thinking of the times that you'd rather be there

You had to be there

I say alright lets wake up from this nightmare

Its 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 lyin awake prayin for the wave to take us

All I've been thinking all night is how I wanted to be there

And there's nothing I could say that can sway your eyes you had already faced it

While I'm draggin up the lines that you had be there

And there's nothing I can say that could change your mind you were already wasted

By thinking of the times that you'd rather be there

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 lines they fade with time in the salty air

Those cold nights where feelings change in the summer air

And there's nothing I could say that can sway your eyes you had already faced it

While I'm draggin up the lines that you had be there

And there's nothing I can say that could change your mind you were already wasted

By thinking of the times that you'd rather be there

You had to be there
