lyrics

I’ve forgone being an infantryman
For the life of a salary man
Thank you Paul for the inspiration
I’ll carry the torch from here on out
What if I knew the seven soldiers killed today?

I wish it were you
Who broke up with me
So I could obsess
Over what should have been
I’d write twenty songs all about us
But give up halfway and go get drunk

Tell a story of modern times
As we struggle to live modern lives
Always connected but we’re so alone
That’s a truth we’ve always known
Have you seen your face in the dark?

Here I am in the same old place
Reciting lines to a different face
Evergreen smells like Christmas
I realize I’m going to miss this
Are you the rose that I lost?
Are you the hole in my gut?
