lyrics

Where did we go wrong?
I used to sink into your songs
like stain into the wood.
I heard the drums of could and should
and the deepest bass of wanting.
You were a house that I was haunting.
I tried so hard to be a good spirit.
You had a song and I could hear it.
I could hear it.

We used to be friends.
We used to be good, good friends.
It doesn't have to end; it's just out of range.
It has to change.

How crazy we have a child.
We are still young. We are still wild,
and there is still in us these holes
too big and black to control.
But I never wanted to war
with the firepower in our cores.
We could use it I always dreamed
to forge our girl our golden keys.

We used to be friends.
We used to be good, good friends.
It doesn't have to end; it's just out of range.
It has to change.

Do you remember the cemetery?
I never really saw myself getting married,
but I thought it would be cool
among the ghosts and goblins and ghouls
to have some kind of light shine,
to have someone to call mine.
But I know now there is no light
that won't go dark without a fight.

We used to be friends.
We used to be good, good friends.
It doesn't have to end; it's just out of range.
It has to change.
