We became the parade on the streets
That we once cleaned
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
Raised on a feeling
Our lives would have meaning
Eventually
We were once the answer
And then you discover
You're actually just one thing after another
And what was the question?
And why was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away
What I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self preservation was no explanation
For anything
But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehend
And I'm just starting to understand my friend
All of that distance, 'cause I fell in love with
The enemy
This is all that matters now
And that was all that happened anyhow
You can look back but don't stare
Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away
What I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away
What I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
At last
We meet on no man's land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no man's land
At last
And when I went away
What I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away
Wwhat I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
One meaning
Just one meaning
