THE WONDER YEARS LYRICS

"Cardinals"

Cardinal crashed into my window. I think he might die.
I'll plan him a funeral. I'll read his last rites.
Because 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.

We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers

So if you call me back or let me in,
(We're no saviors)
I swear I'll never let you down again.
(If we can't save our brothers)
I know the devil you've been fighting with.
(We're no saviors)
I swear I'll never let you down again.
(If we can't save our brothers)

So if you call me back or let me in,
(We're no saviors)
I swear I'll never let you down again.
(If we can't save our brothers)
I know the devil you've been fighting with.
(We're no saviors)
I swear I'll never let you down again.
(If we can't save our brothers)
