Future Islands — Corner of My Eye

I once had a friend And we had a home Till they asked me to turn back Sometimes life is just like that And there, in the city Overlooking the sea I found peace, but can't go back Isn't it so sad? How on the darkest nights It all can leave you, in the blink of an eye And on the palest moons I still see you running into the white Another quiet night Back in my old city The same old silent street That doesn't know pity For all that's trembling in me And for my friend, I still grieve The memory, forgetting The pains, neverending But I'm forgiving, at least In loss, you're better off, move on Can't take away what you gave me 'Cause in a real way you saved me And on the darkest nights I still see you in the corner of my eye The corner of my eye And on the palest moons Oh, I still see you running into the white Into the white And I have to say, "Thank you" Thank you For being there for me for so long So I'll just thank you 'Cause I can't take you or make you I just have to move on It's perfect, so it's done
