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
