It was "us" and "them" we thought And they had all been strictly taught Just how to look and what to say We used to look at them and laugh Pretending we were so detached We used to put them on display. You were off being a recluse Joining hands to tie the noose You weren't sure just what to do Things were getting really hectic I was too distant to detect it I hope you knew that I'd get back to you. Then the lines were not as clear And I began to really fear 'cuz it got hard to just get by I felt badly out of place And took some time to get some space And try some things I hadn't tried. Somehow we both pulled together Hoping that things would get better Yeah, there were some casualties Along the way But here we are, a few years older I'm no convict, and you're no soldier Smile 'cuz we made it to this day.
