lyrics

You and me will get this thing figured out.
All it needs to fix this position of doubt,
Between the lines...

You can't admit that you never felt,
a thing this time, and I abide,
I can't say that I never knew what this could mean.
And looking back on our first days,
This empty vessel filling space,
So eager to learn this phrase
And learn it well.

Say what you mean, do what you say,
There's no time for mental games.
Months of delay, petty relay,
To everybody's comfort zone.
Say what you mean, do what you say,
I meant for it to go this way.
Feel the relief, feel the relief,
A brief synopsis:
Fell free to leave as this could get
Long and sap-filled and misty.
Cut the circuit, light goes off,
Traffic slows, the traffic stops.
Say what you mean, do what you say,
There's no time for anything.
We've faced it all and thus here it comes.

(It's not your fault)

Would you pray for life this time; would you live for death again?
Would you pray for life this time; would you live for death again?
Would you smile like you used to do when I'd tell you the better things?
Would you close your eyes when the bad part comes...

Between you and me, and this trite dialogue ruins the scene?
And these lines that you fear the most of any are the ones that come through.

Say what you mean, do what you say,
Honesty for once, baby.
Say what you mean, do what you say,
Say anything, say anything.
Say what you mean, do what you say,
Don't give up on me just yet,
Say what you mean, do what you say,
All my earnings gone to bet
On number 5, he gallops the wrong way and collides.

What started with our vanguard ways to lose our innocence,
We're becoming seasoned veterans, we're getting more experienced,
On these empty battle fields that we traversed a hundred times,
With shrapnel in our legs and loss of sight.

You and me have got this thing figured out.
Honestly, what could have led us to doubt?
