we were owls

Lyrics

we were just seventeen, and all alone, we had our hands in the gutter, but our hearts in the warm clouds, she said i know it's gonna hurt like hell, but it's all right, we were just seventeen and so in love, i can see it that you're ready to go, like a bat in the cave of my soul, we were owls barely escaping the day, another moment and we'd give it away, we were just seventeen, and so afraid, we were balloons in the hands, of the mothers in the jesus parade, she said i know its gonna burn like fire but its all right, we were just seventeen and so in love, so in love, so in love, so in love, so in love, we were owls when they came in the night, they were looking for a creature to fight, i can see it that you were ready to go, like a bat in the cave of my soul, we had nothing but the blood on our hands, we were sitting but were willing to stand, we were owls barely escaping the day, another moment and we'd give it away, we were owls when they came in the night, they were looking for a creature to fight, i can see it that you're ready to go, like a bat in the cave of my soul, we had nothing but the blood on our hands, we were sitting but willing to stand, we were owls barely escaping the day, another moment and we give it away
