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



'cuz 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 'cuz we made it to this day.
