(maitland)      I was thinking of you yesterday   And I swear you were almost here   You were only around for a second say   But it seemed like years   And we called and we cursed like a thousand birds   And it took me by surprise   To be left in the search for this rainfall of words   To bring lazarus to life      You were talking to me yesterday   From the sound of a distant place   Though I seem to be there in some way   There was no one behind the face   Then a part of me found   As I was feeling around   As you do when you're struck blind   Now I'm finally free   I just never believed   It was emptiness I'd find         Chorus   It's why I've let it slide   A part of me that lived for you just died   It's why I've let it slide   You and me we're both on the same ride   Just on different sides      I was thinking it through   Thinking of you   I'm finally free   I just never believed   It was emptiness I'd find      Chorus
