"A Pale Excuse"

I wish that I knew now what I knew then, that if I ever fell I'd have your hands to help me stand again. But now, all I'm left with is your flag upon my wall. And after all, that's a pale excuse for you. That's a pale excuse for you.

I wish that I could reach beyond the veil, to hear your voice just one more time and say the things we never said, but now all I'm left with is your flag upon my wall. And after all, that's a pale excuse for you. That's a pale excuse for you.

My memories grown thin over the years, you're voice a whisper on the wind that I can almost hear.
You're face it fades a little more each day, washed away by all the crashing waves of indistinctive gray. Oh-oh

This shadow box that holds your gallant threads, I'd trade it in a heartbeat if I thought that it might wake the dead, and bring you back to me again. Oh, if only for one night. And I'd trade everything I own, just to reach the other side, and lead you back to life.

My memories grown thin over the years, you're voice a whisper on the wind that I can almost hear.
You're face it fades a little more each day, washed away by all the crashing waves of indistinctive gray. Oh-oh

I wish that I knew now what I knew then, that if I ever fell I'd have your hands to help me stand again. But now, all I'm left with is your flag upon my wall. And after all, that's a pale excuse for you. That's a pale excuse for you.
