Through The Hell

20 thousand miles of air beneath our feet
That’s where both our eyes first came to meet
It’s where you told me you were running from your family
Grounded to the world wanted from afar
Quick to burn your heart for the morning star
Though you’re far from home
I get the feeling you know just what you’re doing

The longer I want her
The more I think that she can tell
I’m lonely but I’ll go

Through the hell that you put me through
You know I would

Your word is like a narrow bridge and I’m trying not to be scared
What’s on the other side of this? More lies and eyes to make a vanity fair?

But the longer I want her
The more she keeps on doing it well
I’m lonely but I’ll go

And as for the landslide
That knocked you away and swept you right into my life
It once more came to take you from me
As word made it’s way about the homecoming queen
Who’d return on the day of reckoning
To be given to a man of their choice
But you were down with an American boy

Sing my little helen of troy
Thank God you were down with an American boy
