It was "us" and "them" we thought   And they had all been strictly taught   Just how to look and what to say   We used to look at them and laugh   Pretending we were so detached   We used to put them on display.      You were off being a recluse   Joining hands to tie the noose   You weren't sure just what to do   Things were getting really hectic   I was too distant to detect it   I hope you knew that I'd get back to you.      Then the lines were not as clear   And I began to really fear   'cause it got hard to just get by   I felt badly out of place   And took some time to get some space   And try some things I hadn't tried.      Somehow we both pulled together   Hoping that things would get better   Yeah, there were some casualties   Along the way   But here we are, a few years older   I'm no convict, and you're no soldier   Smile 'cause we made it to this day.
