One of Them
Verse One
They’re the people in my family I don’t see at Christmas
They’re the cool kids and hellions I left in my hometown
They don’t cross my mind till the days I think I miss them
They’re ex-best friends, ex-co-dependents, I don’t know them now
Pre-Chorus
We break and mend with age
But one thing stays the same
Chorus One
I’m never gonna call you one of them
Yours will always be the face I know I’ll see again
I’m never gonna call you one of them
Verse Two
It makes me laugh when they try to break me like I’m glass
I watched them coat my heart in steel with their own bare hands
Everything they hardened you make innocent again
A shelter for the embers still glistening in the rain
Pre-Chorus
We break and mend with age
But one thing stays the same
Chorus Two
I’m never gonna call you one of them
Yours will always be the face I know I’ll see again
I’m never gonna call you one of them
I trust in a thousand things I didn’t way back then
Bridge
When the fire comes
And all’s said and done
Years after they left me
When the sun burns out
I will hold your hand
The sweetest kind of ending
Chorus Three
I’m never gonna call you one of them
Yours will always be the face I know I’ll see again
I’m never gonna call you one of them
When earth and the heavens fall, I’ll be there at the end
