[Verse 1]
Paper thin and beautiful
It's the life you used to know
What's life to the air and flow, you run the other way
I tried to call you out at night
Cigarillo in your eyes
Chokin' on the good goodbyes
We dream of better days

[Refrain]
And I wanna get by without you
It's a long long time since I knew you

[Verse 2]
Everyone just cut you off
Told me you're not good enough
Demons open all this stuff
It pays to go along
Live here for another scene
Somewhere not as mean
Somewhere while the sun will spring
Somewhere never dream
It's about time, go outside

[Verse 3]
Everywhere you used to go
Searchin' for a one-man show
Caught up in the rodeo
You long to get away
Something I can offer you
Nothing grand, nothing true
These things are the sakes of you
You've got to get away
And I wanna get by without you
[Outro]
So long, long time since I knew you
It's a long, long time since I knew you
So long, long time since I knew you
It's a long, long time since I knew you
So long, long time since I knew you
