Jason Isbell - We've Met lyrics

We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face
I should have never left this place
We've met, before you were a Christian
Before your eyes were blue
And all that gets you through
Do you know how long I've waited
Do you know how long I waited for you

Dream big, that's what you used to tell me
Before I went away
Would you say the same today you knew
That I couldn't work the foundry and
I couldn't play the fool and
I wouldn't stay for you
And the drunks all think I made it
And the girls all twist and
Shake it like they do

All my playground fears have faded
Replaced with grown up nightmares
That come true

We've met in another motion picture
With stain glass effigies
Did it even look like me
I bet this town is in your blood now
But it didn't have to be
No it didn't have to be
You know I thought I'd find the answers
In the troubadour land dancers brand new
Do you think I've learned my lesson
Did I make a new impression on you

We've met, I can tell you don't remember
I can see it your face
I should have never left this place
