On the porch we sit like lepers who forgot about the pain,
we count the drops of rain.
Like veterans gone insane, the war was just a game,
the man took back our guns, the word safe won't ever mean the same
things used to seem a million times better than they were.
The damage we incurred, never used to hurt, back when we had words,
and it's absurd, I mean the way that the tables turned.
You gonna see me around, alright.
Tell the baby that he could've been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldn't be mine and it wouldn't be you and that wouldn't be right.
So take this, let me give it to you.
Here you are here it's just for you, oh yeah and here's a grain of
salt you should take it too,
actually here's a few,
it's just a thing you couldn't swing it so I'm bringing the cheese,
you can always get the truth from me if you just say please I'll do my
best to make it easy.
You gonna see me around, alright.
Tell the baby that he could've been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldn't be mine and it wouldn't be you and that wouldn't be right.
These eyes, behold a lot of what these hands cannot, they're all I've
got, they're all I ever wanted, was just these eyes.
You gonna see me around, alright. Tell the baby that he could've been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldn't be mine and it wouldn't be you and that wouldn't be right.
Alright.
Tell the baby that he could've been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldn't be mine and it wouldn't be you and that wouldn't be right.
