(written by Dave Schramm)



You keep all your aces so close to your chest

How many more fell today?

You overcame fortune and overlooked fame

How many more fell today?



Tell me your reasons for fighting

Tell me your kindness has saved the day

Tell me I'm overexcited

How many more fell today?



A siren is sounding but this ain't no drill

Tell me the names of your friends today

And your awesome ignorance shines in you still

Tell me the names of your friends today



Give me one reason to like you

Give me a good reason to think like you

Honestly I think you've tried to

How many more fell today?



We've played along

With your conqueror's song

Too long, too long



Tell me I'm overexcited

How many more fell today?



You keep all your aces so close to your chest

How many more fell today?
