The Message
Gustavo Bustermann
Textin' on a late night, silence in the blue light
Your name on my screen
Didn't think you'd find me, not after all this time
And all that's been between
Readin' every sentence, quiet and late repentance
You said you were wrong
Heartbeats in a half-Moon, shadows in my bedroom
I let it play too long
It's you, the ghost I knew, the one I lost
You say you're different now, but at what cost?
You tell me how you miss the truth we knew
I heard you dream of me when nights fall through
It's colder than it ever used to be
The world kept spinning without you and me
I learned to breathe in someone else's blue
And, baby, not with you
Laughin' with my new friends, watchin' how the night ends
Drinkin' to the flame
Feelin' like a movie, soft and strange and gloomy
Your words still call my name
You wrote you've been sober, lookin' for a closure
Could we start again?
But I've got a good love, steady as the sunrise
And you're a different boy
It's you, the ghost I knew, the one I lost
You say you're different now, but at what cost?
You tell me how you miss the truth we knew
I heard you dream of me when nights fall through
It's colder than it ever used to be
The world kept spinning without you and me
I learned to breathe in someone else's blue
And, baby, not with you
(Not with you, not with you, not with you)
(Not with you, not with you, not with you)
It's you, the ghost I knew, the one I lost
You say you're different now, but at what cost?
You tell me how you miss the truth we knew
I heard you dream of me when nights fall through
It's colder than it ever used to be
The world kept spinning without you and me
I learned to breathe in someone else's blue
And, baby, not with you
(Not with you, not with you, not with you)
Mm, not with you
(Not with you, not with you, not with you)
