Red, White, And Blues

You called it no mans land
 With machine guns blasting to hell
 I let my guard down and carried my heart so far away
 And in a letter sent, that I don't want to be here any more then them
 I'm sipping on coffee gone stale again
 Is this how it tastes to mix drinks with sour grapes?
 So kiss me before its over if only for a minute
 We can argue who was first to bleed
 Or let the walls do the talking
 But in the middle of the night
 I lay frozen in a memory of us down by a river
 With your hand clenched into mine
 Well I still remember all the promises we swore we'd never outlive
 Please tell me you remember forever friends
 Cause in the red light I'm singing all alone
 As I watched my favorite dream fall from grace to stone
 Hiding in the basement we kept our voices low
 You gave me that old troubled look that said "I don't know"
 Hold onto twilight the sun brings empire
 We are the last fight we are the fire
 Cause just like your mother said
 Your too pretty and young for this
