lyrics

You and I are different people
But there's not good and there's no evil
Now it's time to recognize that fact
You can blame me if you want to
But your past will only haunt you
Unless we decide to make a pact

I'd like to think that we can handle this like civilized men
And I'd like to swear on all that's holy
That I won't come back this way again

I've never much been for time travel
I know the future will unravel
And then I'll catch up with my old mistakes
The plans we hatch will be the kind of
Ignorance that lets us wind up
Landing on a giant letter H

We listen to each other and act as if we're brothers
Oh, and I find the weight, it lifts from me

So please put down your fork and knife
I'm taking back my lovely life
I think that I can handle it from here
I'll forge ahead just like a spaceman
Descending on a barren wasteland
And breathing hope into the atmosphere
