Four Letter Word

Mary came back in the middle of December

With a scar that she never could remember

She was always so high in school

And no one ever knew the difference

Then we'd cut class and we'd dream about the ocean

Was it you or a chemical emotion?

Everything was crystal clear

And you could sing the words to that song

I could never find

Hurry up now, it's the middle of the story

Where the king goes out in the blaze of glory

And everything is a mystery and we will never die

You're a four letter word that I used to know

A four letter word that I used to know

You're a four letter word that I used to know

Like hope and pain and Mary

Lyin' in the sand while the moon was rising

Full of thoughts and the feelings I was hiding

All the words that I tried to say and never did reveal

The summer flew by and I headed out to school

Met a girl, I lost touch with you

Now everything is crystal clear

But still I find that somehow

You keep running through my mind

Hurry up now, it's the middle of the story

Where the king goes out in the blaze of glory

And everything is a mystery and we will never die

You're a four letter word that I used to know

A four letter word that I used to know

You're a four letter word that I used to know

Like hope and pain and Mary

Hope comes in circles

Pain fades away

Lying on the beach with the world out of reach

Me and Mary

Hurry up now, it's the middle of the story

Where the king goes out in the blaze of glory

And everything is a mystery and we will never die

And all the shit in life seems to happen for a reason

Was it me or the end of the season

Did you fall off your saddle while you were coming down

You're a four letter word that I used to know

A four letter word that I used to know

You're a four letter word that I used to know

Like hope and pain and Mary
