Red, White, And Blues

Intro: You called it no man's 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 than them I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes? So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute We can argue who was first to bleed Or let your walls do the talking Interlude: (We're falling faster now) But in the middle of the night I lay there frozen in a memory Of us down by the river With your hands clenched into mine Well I still remember All the promises you swore That we'd never outlive Please tell me you remember, forever friends So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute So kiss me before it's over, if only for a minute We can argue who was first to bleed Or let your walls do the talking Interlude: 'Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone 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 And just like your mother said (Hold onto twilight, the sun brings empire) You're too pretty and young for this You'll make it better on the outside (We are the last fight, we are the fire) Just keep your head and keep your fire.
