lyrics

Hey, it’s just me, you know, the one you seldom see
A faded memory
A third son, peculiar one,
but you know by now I won’t hit and run
Wary walls, ironic calls now give me pause

Oh my, oh my, oh my, worlds apart
It shakes my heart
And oh my, oh my, oh my, this divide
It’s like a riptide

No, I won’t let go, I will keep kind
I’ll listen in, but I won’t play blind

So hey, it’s just me, I’m checking in, dear absentees
Can we clear the air
What’s become of the three sons, has the demagoguery won
Sure, I’m sentimental
Oh, but now’s the time to recognize where we align
It’s not hard to find

Oh my, oh my, oh my, worlds apart
And it breaks my heart

Some say it’s out of your hands
Dug into separate camps
Leave (it) like a contraband
But I’ve gotta believe
There’s more to keep us together than to sever the tether
Don’t prove me wrong

Oh my, oh my, oh my, this divide
It’s like a riptide

No, I won’t let go, I will be kind
And I’m listening, but I won’t act blind
