Four whole years
Is a long way down.
Can we sleep this off
In the lost and found?
I guess we had no idea
There would be no sound
When the guns went off
And we hit the ground.
Singing out,
"Oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
They were long days.
They were long days."
"They were long days
With the ghosts you left me."
We're haunted
By what we've seen:
Another force
To cause emergency.
Our paper hearts
Were folding.
They're torn apart
As we hold them.
What are we doing this for?
We were born together --
We'll die together.
Fourteen years
Since I left this town.
How can you love me when
I'm not around?
I guess if we'd seen this all
Through the devil's eyes,
When the darkness falls
And the vultures rise.
Something changed in us;
In the arms of sinners.
We were forged
In the fires
That we had within us.
