Palisades People Like Us
Do you remember the first time that we met?
You were cold as a ghost in a basement
You wanted nothin' to do wit me or the world around you
You said I'm not someone you want to waste your time on
I said you're not someone I want to say goodbye to
Funny feelin' how it all can flip
Pickin' you up really picks me up
Look at how we turned a spark into a flame
Lightin' you up really lights me up
& all the pills & sympathy
Won't replace what you know you need
I know it feels like you've got nothin'
Bet you didn't know you were all I see
You said you're damaged merchandise & I'll pay the price
If I let you in
You can go & try to push it off all you want
But I'm never givin' up
I'll show you what you're worth
If you're a fire then I want to burn
Have I accepted that I will never trust again
When I can't even seem to trust myself?
How am I ever goin' to trust again?
Why do I stay on the roads that keep leadin' me right back through the hell I've been?
There's a difference between givin' up
& knowin' when you've had enough
Maybe I'm addicted to you because the best kinds of drugs are other people like us
I found out the best kinds of drugs are people just like us
