We Were Invincible


We were convinced our paths were written in the stars And promised we'd never be apart To only realize none was as different as ours So we parted ways with all too broken hearts We were too young Too naive on our part Too ignorant from the start We promised each other white lies Only to end up Not by each others side We were invincible We could have crossed mountains And conquered everything under the sky We were invincible By each others side We were invincible But now alone we will die I'm too fractured, you're too broken, we're like loose pots on a gravel road We fight and we bicker, I throw punches and you hold me close We're as incompatible as two zodiacs could be But still there wasn't a better pair than that of you and me We had too much recklessness on the charts We were too adventurous to care where we got We were invincible We'd wake up in the morning Just to drive to random spots We'd laugh at the days so long gone we forgot We were invincible We were invincible No one can compare I compare Everyone to you but now you're just a familiar face in a boy I once knew We were invincible Now you show your face I run to you Open arms, open embrace It's been four seasons now since you've visited this place We catch eyes not a second too long But enough to know you were thinking the same thought We were invincible Climbed the great oaks Splashed through puddles soaked Drew tattoos on each others arm long washed away before they could cause further harm We told each other such stories Our own We were invincible Everyone that passed could tell By the way we were glowing That we were invincible but now our stories lay recorded in the ashes under the stones make no mistakes, have no regrets, just forget like I forgot home We were invincible But lets forget that now Cause there's no way back now We were invincible We were.
