Cardinals Lyrics - No Closer To Heaven - The Wonder Years

Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die 

I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites 

Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light 

On the glass was a better life 

Staring at a hole in your chest that's been dug there for decades 

American broken promises 

Caught between the lies you've been fed 

And a war with your bloodstream 

I should have been there when you needed a friend 

I was off on my own again 

Selfish and stupid 

So if you call me back or let me in 

I swear I'll never let you down again 

I know the devil you've been fighting with 

I swear I'll never let you down again 

I had that nightmare again 

You're seven and helpless, angry as hell 

And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings 

And I beat you half-conscious 

I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat 

I want those years back 

So if you call me back or let me in 

I swear I'll never let you down again 

I know the devil you've been fighting with 

I swear I'll never let you down again
