We Were Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Silently we were friends
Guarding our country from traitors and new trends
You were at the borders
I am at the beaches
I remember exactly what the enemy teaches
Like presidents and pilots
We turned a blind eye
To letters over our heads
Floating in the sky
Those were the paper animals
Signalling danger
They are evolving
And the world is a stranger
No currency to drive us crazy
no vehicles would drive us and make us lazy
ah ah to make us lazy
ah ah i wont lie
Only time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice
I dissapear
And I can't go back
Without a counter attack
And I can't turn around
It's my mothers pride
My mothers pride
So I'm close to somewhere else
But we're not going there
We scan the forest floors
Looking worse for wear
For a life outside of ours
Cos we are too shallow
And to brave to hide our scars
And step in ones shelter
I am protective over you
And the stories re-enact
Getting word from the smallest of contact
No currency to drive us crazy
no vehicles to drive us and make us stay
oh oh oh oh ah ah
Only time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice
I dissapear
And I see her
When I see her
When I see her everyday
wahoo oh oh
Only time I fall
Is when I feel
Only time they notice
I dissapear
And I see her
When I see her
When I see her every... day
