Hello vampire where've you been,
You look like you've seen better evenings
Your teeth fell out,
You're stuck on skin,
I get no threat behind your breathing

Paper voice still sounding like you've screamed it black and blue,
So if you're throwing your coins in the fountain,
Save a buck or two,

For me and you,
The ones they never counted on
Me and you,
From the sandbox to the grave
Me and you,
The pride of the echelon
Yeah I swear we'll make it out somday
Me and you,
The pride of all they threw away

The messengers won't ever reach your door,
If there's no one there to greet them
And fireflies they don't stay out late no more,
Because the hummingbirds will eat them
So keep me safe in your pocket like a kangaroo,
And I will keep you in the back of my thoughts like a bill that's six months overdue,
'Cause the night,
It don't fall fast enough to cover up this blue
And if I tell this story long enough do you think it might come true

For me and you,
The ones they never counted on
Me and you,
From the sandbox to the grave
Me and you,
The pride of the echelon
Yeah I swear, I swear we'll make it out someday
Me and you,
The pride of all they threw away

So I admidt it - I can't make it on my own
With a checkered past,
A house of glass, and I'm still throwing stones
But the city lights they can't stay alight on love and love alone
It we burn the map and start that journey over
We just might make it home,
We just might make it home,
We just might make it home
