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 eventuallyWe 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 thereAnd when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaningAnd outside forces didn't make it easy
So I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self preservation was no explanation for anythingBut 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 enemyThis 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 thereAnd when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say

Eight letters, three words, one meaningAnd when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaningAt last, we meet on no man's land
Just footprints in the sand
We meet on no man's land, at lastAnd when I went away what I forgot to say
Was all I had to say
Eight letters, three words, one meaningAnd 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
