Cover art for Bent lyrics by Matt Nathanson

a piece is missing from the end, at least the version i have:

goodnight, farewell was i everything you wanted was i everything you wanted goodnight, farewell you said i was everything i was your everything

they will see us waving from such great heights come down now, they'll say

cuz everything looks perfect from far away come down now we'll stay

I too have heard this version, and it is beautiful. Matt Nathanson is the most amazing man alive. The last 2 stanzas you typed were actually from a Postal Service song called Such Great Heights so I guess he thought it fit well in Bent.
