lyrics

all your friends are right here
huddled round the table
vacant eyes set to the floor

and we have fought and shared homes
won and lost the day tho
we've never been this close before

(prechorus)
embarrassed, my enemies
don't mean what they used to me
our battles seem so petty
now in your peace

(chorus)
took a lot of soul
to walk out like you
could've swore i felt this fall before
and everything you stole
we will carry through
could've sworn that i'd been in a war

took a lot of soul
swore i used to know
took a lot of soul
to give up like you

listen one more time
play your voice back through the phone
if you were ever mine
well it seems so far right now
thought a lot of you
and the things i have to prove
thought a lot of me
in those lights you didn't see

(prechorus)
the shit that i meant to be
all shuffled off in a week
my plans all seem so petty
now in your peace

is there no way but to see
this as a failure on me
there's not enough there to breathe
in my mind's seeds

(chorus)

(solo)

(chorus)
