are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

have you given up on passion living day to day. left your dreams locked down inside. and choking on a lifetime of "never take a chance", you wake up one day wishing you'd tried.

we all get angry, we all get scared. we all make big mistakes that can never be repaired.

pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor · Cry my eyes out, in my private little war · Well it seems I've been a soldier · Heaven knows I've been no saint · In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint · To you this has no meaning the Armistice laid down · The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound · Well now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind · And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine · And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell · You drag me to your safety from this my front line hell · The blood that was spilled in the heartache before · Left road maps of scars that I never could ignore · Until you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire · Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire · And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do · I want you to know you're gonna take me with you.

reminds me of a very long engagement...
