Flesh and Bone

A lot’s changed since we were young.

We went from playing with loaded guns

To this hole in our heart, looking for home.

I see you there right in front of me.

But it’s like reaching out across the sea,

Trying to let you know that you’re not alone.

Hey, hey, you’re just flesh and bone.

I know the road’s been hard,

But don’t forget who you are.

There’s a child there who’ll never be grown.

Hey, hey, he’s just flesh and bone.

We crave the comfort of the homes that we broke.

We’d save it all, but it all went up in smoke.

But what was lost ain’t carved in stone;

It’s just flesh and bone.

We were born in an avalanche.

Our lives have been a game of chance.

No apologies for the seeds we’ve sown.

Hey, hey, we’re just flesh and bone.

And all we had is just on loan,

This flesh and bone.
