Eight Letters Lyrics

We became the parade on the streets that we once cleaned Expendable soldiers smiling at anything Raised on a feeling our lives would have meaning eventually
We were once the answer and then you discover You're actually just one thing after another And what was the question and why was the lesson so deafening?
This is all that matters now And that was all that happened anyhow You can look back but don't stare Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say Was all I had to say Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And outside forces didn't make it easy So I thought I'd go before you leave me Self preservation was no explanation for anything
But the truth is more than we'll ever comprehend I'm just starting to understand, my friend All of that distance, 'cause I fell in love with the enemy
This is all that matters now And that was all that happened anyhow You can look back but don't stare Maybe I can love you out of there
And when I went away what I forgot to say Was all I had to say Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say Was all I had to say Eight letters, three words, one meaning
At last, we meet on no man's land Just footprints in the sand We meet on no man's land, at last
And when I went away what I forgot to say Was all I had to say Eight letters, three words, one meaning
And when I went away what I forgot to say Was all I had to say Eight letters, three words, one meaning One meaning, just one meaning
