Family And Friends

When you said you never want to take my name, well I completely understood
You'll pass with your eyes open
You were hoping
I could close them shut

You could've sworn that we've met
Just like déjà vu death
But home has never been a roof over your head

But wouldn't it be nice
To not have to tell me twice?
Love in a different language
Where we speak every second night

When you had every right
To want to take your life
But you've earned all your anguish

And I think I'm coming down with something strange
And if I'm being fair
I hope I'm coming down with something
Because I'm never here and I'm barely ever there
I bet my family and friends
Could all fit in this bed
But they'll never spend the night 'cause I scare them all to death

But wouldn't it be nice
To not have to tell me twice
Love in a different language
Where we speak every second night

And you thawed out the thin ice
I've been slipping on for life
Now I'll tread in water stagnant
I'm getting nowhere nice

A familiar face from forever ago
A vow to be silent and do what you're told
If you know how it ends don't let me know
No don't let me know

But wouldn't it be nice
To not have to tell me twice
Love in a different language
Where we speak every second night

And you had every right
To want to take your life
But you've earned all your anguish
