Red, White, and Blues

You called it no mans land

With machine guns blasting to hell

I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away

And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more then them

I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again

Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?

So kiss me before its over if only for a minute

We can argue who was first to bleed

Or let the walls do the talking

But in the middle of the night

I lay frozen in a memory of us down by a river

With your hand clenched into mine

Well I still remember all the promises we swore we'd never outlive

Please tell me you remember forever friends

Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone

As I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone

Hiding in the basement we kept our voices low

You gave me that old troubled look that said "I don't know"

Hold onto twilight the sun brings empire

We are the last fight we are the fire

Cause just like your mother said

Your too pretty and young for this

You'll make it better on the outside

Just keep your head and keep your fire.
