See if I can make sense of this mess we made
Whether it's the fire that we started when we last came
Try to make sense of it all
And we'll come, celebrate, and leave our flags where we stood
And we'll know when we've departed that stains will remain in the dust
I buried my head in the sand
And dug all the way down to where the sun won't land
I lay there quietly waiting
For an eagle to snap me up and fade into the far away
I'll be there in the morning
I see your sleepy eyes
And I do my little dance where we all pretend we'll be back after sunrise
But I won't
Cause I care
And I'm perfectly aware
That it's over
I'm going away for a while
There's a cold snap to happen
It's just for me
But he'll be with you shortly
But now he's by the sea
A different place
That I can't stand
I see the drawn-out shapes in the desert sand
The drawn-out shapes in the desert sand
But I won't
Cause I care
And I'm perfectly aware
That it's over
Over
