Bring Us Back

Song Title: Bring Us Back to feeling safe in the dark even with the unknown knowing it’s time to come home when the porch light changes to hashin it out with a fist fight then laughing it off with a fist bump the anger didn’t seem to linger the lust around us was a stranger bring us back when hearts didn’t seem as cold when the hate didn’t same so strong when ones opinion wasn’t forced on another people respected their fathers and mothers bring us back when we were free and we were safe maybe we weren’t perfect but this isnt a great change somehow, we took it too far we got lost in our emotions and lost reason in the madness bring back the midnight talk bright back hearing friendly neighbors knock the grace to disagree and still belong bring us back to when we weren’t falling apart kids were in school, they weren’t on drugs they didn’t have to worry about being shot stranger danger. told as a man with a van not another kid, a woman, an online game or a person of trust we could have our doors unlocked leave our cars in the driveway place our wallet on the table in view we could take our kids to the park go to the store without fear bring us back when we loved our home, we loved ourselves and we loved our own. when we held on to the small things that made us whole now the quiets loud, the distance grows
