lyrics

ANTHEM FOR 2ND PLACE
before you saw the game before you saw the game we lost
we were beautiful
and before we start to change before we start to change it all
can we just say this once
we're sorry for the pain we cause

we shake with every thought if it makes you feel less wrong
we we're foolish oh

we're sorry for the pain we cause but we have no way
and we won't be forced to explain

go and stare straight into the sun and we will be there
there's no way of dressing it up this wound is keeping
so start the meeting one by one we sing and then jump
you gotta see it burning up all the shame we can find
you gotta feel it you gotta feel it you can't name this
the hours we traded you can't name this
