Sitting poolside with our demons beside us
Who are we becoming tonight?
A shot and a beer, I can feel my secrets forming into audible words coming to light
The bad guy role you play, I imagine, gets boring after a while
But your friends they'll still love you if they knew what happens behind that smile
We're the nightmare fighters, the sad song writers with the lowest of self esteem
We'll take it in stride, all the beautiful things in life
All the states and the miles in between
Singing loudly to the songs that made us who we are today
The melodies that broke us, the words that say exactly what we needed to say
Now you’re standing before me, lyrics written all over your face
Not a boy with a problem, looking for attention but a man who can keep all of monsters at bay
We're the nightmare fighters, the sad song writers with the lowest of self esteem
We'll take it in stride, all the beautiful things in life
All the states and the miles in between
Don't look now, your colors are showing
They're beautiful if you look at them right
Don't look now, your colors, they're glowing
Let your friends see that light
Don't look down, we're right on the edge
I'm learning how to hold my tongue and breath
Don't look now, we’re winning this battle
We just haven't won it yet
We're the nightmare fighters, the sad song writers with the lowest of self esteem
We'll take it in stride, all the beautiful things in life
All the states and the miles in between
Sitting poolside with our demons behind us
I love who we’re becoming tonight
