lyrics

Who knows who swung first?
But i was always the slowest and worst,
i was always the boy with the wrong kind of words,
always fumbling after myself;
always staying in too long,
never giving up when i should.
they don’t make fighters like me anymore,
who hide their savagery under their breath.

But i can imagine us older,
and finally alright,
but its not like the wildfire dreams that we shared
and no one could tell us were lies.
my best and my only friend,
i’ll love you til nobody dies.
i’ll love you like i’m not afraid anymore,
even if i can’t open my eyes.
bareknuckled, i’m here

somewhere there’s a fight
that could settle our debts
but i’m no longer that much a fighter;
i just throw punches til one of them hits.
my best and my only friend,
i’ll love you til i don’t exist.
i’ll love you like i’m not afraid anymore,
even if i can’t open my fists
bareknuckled, i’m here
