You called it no mans land With machine guns blasting to hell I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more then them I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?
So kiss me before its over if only for a minute We can argue who was first to bleed Or let the walls do the talking
But in the middle of the night I lay frozen in a memory of us down by a river With your hand clenched into mine Well I still remember all the promises we swore we'd never outlive Please tell me you remember forever friends
Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone As I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone Hiding in the basement we kept our voices low You gave me that old troubled look that said "I don't know"
Hold onto twilight the sun brings empire We are the last fight we are the fire
Cause just like your mother said Your too pretty and young for this You'll make it better on the outside Just keep your head and keep your fire.
