The Good Fight

Consider the odds, consider the obvious. The martyr is meaningless, the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces are the singular proof that it was ever alive.

This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded and left to die championless. I begged you not to go. I begged you, I pleaded. Claimed you as my only hope and watched the floor as you retreated.

Hope has sprung a perfect dive a perfect day, a perfect lie. A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.

Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight? Basking in your victory, hollow and alone to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen. While you're left with nothing tangible to gain.

Dashboard Confessionals - The Good Fight

Erm, the more I read them the more they don't make sense. It's a nice song though.

If elephants could fly
I'd be a little more optimistic
But I don't see that happening
Anytime soon
I don't mean to sound
So pessimistic but
I don't think that cow
Really jumped over the moon

When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up?

When money grows on trees
People live in peace
Everyone agrees
When happiness is free
Love can guarantee
You'll come back to me
That's when

I'd love to wake up smiling
Full of the joys of spring
And hear on CNN
That Elvis lives again
And that John's back
With the Beatles and they're
Going out on tour
Will be the first in line for tickets
Gotta see that show for sure

When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up?

When money grows on trees
People live in peace
Everyone agrees
When happiness is free
Love can guarantee
You'll come back to me
That's when

When will I wake up?
Why did we break up?
When will we make up?

When money grows on trees
People live in peace
Everyone agrees
When happiness is free
Love can guarantee
You'll come back to me
That's when
That's when

Shania Twain - When

Hmmm...

You are a mess.

Yes.
