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
