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 never 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 tainted, 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
All’s said and done
Years after they left me
When the sun burns out
I'll 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
