lyrics

It's okay, it's alright
we're the corner in your fight
When you're down, we're around
with our numbers written down
Just a call, and a cry
no more shame to occupy
Just a day, at a time
no more wandering divide
Make it end, the pretend
with our memories to defend
All the ghosts, in the back
merely shadows of a past

Do you remember when I said it was alright
And you shouted back no nothing ever is
You scramble clench-fist and cry, it's so insensitive
How could this happen at all, we couldn't plan for this

Can your friends pack your bag, just put whatever in
I know I just broke the news but I've got adrenaline
How else could I go and drive from home to Jersey and
Not even let myself cry, am I insensitive

I'm looking back on it now, the way we turned it around

We barely spoke on the ride, what's there to say then
When the world's black and white and simply fading
Just let the radio hum its soothing playlist
Let it break all the silence and the shame in

You ran as fast as you could into your mom's arms
Like a love to a fault that you could fall on
We all collapsed on the floor and sort of sank in
I swore it'd all be alright and I wasn't faking it

I'm looking back on it now, the way we turned it around

Making changes and using tools for progress
Guess it's all that we have the rest is nonsense
Not erasing the memories or the conscious
Simply peeling our scars and growing new skin
