lyrics

And if it's all wrong to see the memories of our dreams
then I won't choose to be part of this charade.
Now, I don't know just why we love, and then we die,
But somehow I knew that you'd understand.

And now I don't know just how the river's overflowed
when there's not been rain for twenty-seven days,
And I don't know if you could even grasp that pain,
but I know I am not the same.

For two long years we fought the good fight,
the long nights with tears on the back deck breaking down.
Now we've finally found ourselves on some solid ground, solid ground.
Just in time for the walls to fall back out.

And is it so wrong to think that we all deserve the chance
To breathe, to live, to think,
To love and to romance.
"I'm sorry son, we don't accept that medical plan.
Go get a job if you can bear to stand".

For two long years we fought the good fight,
the long nights, the tears on the back deck breaking down.
Now we've finally found ourselves on some solid ground, solid ground.
Just in time for the walls to fall back out.

Four long years we sat on curbsides in exile
while the sheep and the shephards laid back down
Now we've finally found ourselves on some solid ground, solid ground.
Just in time for the walls to fall back out.
