We became the parade

On the streets that

We once cleaned

Expendable soldiers

Smiling at anything

Raised on a feeling

Our lives would have meaning

Eventually

We were once the answer,

And then you discover

You're actually just one thing

After another

And what was the question

And why was the lesson

So deafening

This is all that matters now

And that was all that happened

Anyhow

You can look back

But don't stare

Maybe I can love you

Out of there

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words

One meaning

And outside forces didn't

Make it easy

So I thought I'd go

Before you leave me

Self reservation

Was no explanation

For anything

But the truth is more than

We'll ever comprehend

I'm just starting to

Understand my friend

All of that distance

Cause I fell in love

With the enemy

This is all that matters now

And that was all that happened

Anyhow

You can look back

But don't stare

Maybe I can love you

Out of there

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words

One meaning

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words

One meaning

At last

We meet on no man's land

Footprints in the sand

We meet on no man's land

At last

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words

One meaning

And when I went away

What I forgot to say

Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words

One meaning,

One meaning

Just one meaning
