Intro
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 wont 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 its absurd, I mean the way that the tables turned.
You gonna see me around, alright.
Tell the baby that he couldve been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldnt be mine and it wouldnt be you and that wouldnt be right.
So take this, let me give it to you.
Here you are here its just for you, oh yeah and heres a grain of
salt you should take it too,
actually heres a few,
its just a thing you couldnt swing it so Im bringing the cheese,
you can always get the truth from me if you just say please Ill do my
best to make it easy.
You gonna see me around, alright.
Tell the baby that he couldve been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldnt be mine and it wouldnt be you and that wouldnt be right.
These eyes, behold a lot of what these hands cannot, theyre all Ive
got, theyre all I ever wanted, was just these eyes.
You gonna see me around, alright.
Tell the baby that he couldve been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldnt be mine and it wouldnt be you and that wouldnt be right.
Alright.
Tell the baby that he couldve been mine.
How overjoyed I would have been to save your life that night, that afternoon,
but it wouldnt be mine and it wouldnt be you and that wouldnt be right.
