Song lyrics
Dallas:Was I left behind?
Someone tell me, tell me I survived
And don't look so surprised that I'm home but just for tonight
With rough hands and sore eyes
so don't speak, I am tired
Lets just live through this life

George:She says I swear too much
She says a lot of things
Well I'd swear every other word if I could
For her, I'll make an attempt

Sometimes love isn't about how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change to suit them

Dallas:All my bones are dust
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:And my heart's sealed with rust
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:These hands will always be rough
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:I know this won't count for much
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)

George:1 day my hands were too soft
1 day she said "I'm tired"
1 day her clothes were on my floor
1 day empty bottles
I'm not saying that she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man

Rough hands, rough days
Rough hands, rough nights
Rough hands, rough season
Rough hands, rough fights

Dallas:All my bones are dust
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:And my heart's sealed with rust
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:These hands will always be rough
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)
Dallas:I know this won't count for much
Wade:(2 people, too damaged, too much, too late)

This song does everything right. the sound that you hear is very full, the instruments in use are used to their full potential. The lyrics are great because they are very meaningful. and they can mean different things to different people all the time. And above all, the thing that i love most about this song is the stark contrast between the two types of vocals. The screamo and the soft (but strong!) voices work so well together, it gives a nice break from just one or the other. They use it to their advantage.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!

Amazing song. Like the whay Alexisonfire cools the rhythm a bit and finishes the album with a song like this.

"Sometimes love isn't about how much someone suits you
But how much you're willing to change to suit them"

So true.
