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
|
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 what I forgot to say
|
Was all I had to say:
|
Eight letters, three words, one meaning
|
|
One meaning
|
Just one meaning
|

Eight Letters
