Would you open your mouth
If there was nothing to say?
Would you clear out your throat and call back
An old martyr who's remembered as an old friend
With an old debt to pay?
Would you ask him to stay
If he turned you away?
Would you rise to your feet
If there was nowhere to stand?
Would you jump in the air and submit?
If both of my wrists were tied up
Would you give me your hand?
And if the rising tides would be as timeless as I know they can
Would a man who dies by his own choice still be seen as a man?
And if you and I were to confide but then to only disband
I know we would be
I know we would be
I know we would be
Moving forwards, heading westwards
With no dry place to stay
Sometimes no words are the best words
That's when you've something to say
Would you open your eyes
If there was nothing to see?
Would you survey the skies and realize
That nobody ever had stood there
Except you and me?
And could that be the key
To your memory's conviction
On three counts grand theft amnesty?
If I’m not around, then you’ll have to make ends meet
And all we’ll never have is every plan we haven’t planned,
So don’t be sad or lose sleep for me
Over and over, it’s over and I miss it so
You’ll have to make both of our ends meet if I’m not around
When all the cars break down
And every street light is out
So long as nobody cares
So much for a way worn stare
Forget the stories that you’ve read, I know they sound right, but they’re wrong
Because all those sorry-saddened songs that were lost on our ears,
Never clear, were there all along
Shoulder to shoulder, it’s over and we’ve met our ends
I know it sounds right, but it’s wrong, so forget what you’ve read
