She was thinking of the one who won the war And wondered what it was he thought it was they fought it for Among the maimed and dead who bled like ghosts on foreign shores Holding onto shadows in the night Whoever told you that enough is always more While your heroes and your gods were slowly dying by the scores On the back of taking what you thought you couldnt anymore Holding onto shadows in the night Searching for an answer in the light Reaching out for anyone to tell you its alright Well, I dont know I might be wrong But its alright Theres defeated expectations hiding in your pain Like every hopeful dreamer you left screaming in the rain With the love you showed from boxcars on the backs of burning trains Holding onto shadows in the night Every little death you die beneath the covers Trying to receive who you believe to be another Like cresting breaths that heaven flowed tween lips of drunken lovers Holding onto shadows in the night Searching for an answer in the light Reaching out for anyone to tell you its alright Well, I dont know I might be wrong But its alright Yeah, its alright Ah, its alright Its alright
