Eight Letters
We became the parade on the streets that we once cleanedExpendable soldiers smiling at anythingRaised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discoverYou're actually just one thing after anotherAnd what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters nowAnd that was all that happened anyhowYou can look back but don't stareMaybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to sayWas all I had to say:Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didn't make it easySo I thought I'd go before you leave meSelf-preservation was no explanation for anything
But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehendI'm just starting to understand, my friendAll of that distance, 'cause I fell in love with the enemy
This is all that matters nowAnd that was all that happened anyhowYou can look back but don't stareMaybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to sayWas all I had to say:Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to sayWas all I had to say:Eight letters, three words, one meaning
At last, we meet on no man's landJust footprints in the sandWe meet on no man's land, at last
And when I went away what I forgot to sayWas all I had to say:Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to sayWas all I had to say:Eight letters, three words, one meaning
One meaningJust one meaning
