Our Line

We sat in the same old classroom
Passed notes no one would read
Same jokes, same stupid answers
Same dreams we didn’t need

We wore the same damn colors
On every Friday night
Cheered loud for different teams
But we laughed after every fight

We built our days together
Brick by brick, side by side
Same streets, same broken language
Nothing there to divide

Your mother knew my first name
Mine saved you a seat at home
We never thought of borders
‘Cause we never stood alone

And now there’s our line between us
We never meant to find
No one gives a reason
Just tells us where to stand

On different sides of something
We don’t understand
Yesterday your brother
Now a stranger in your hands

We kicked that ball for hours
On dust that turned to gold
No winners, just the evening
And stories left untold

Now I see your face in shadows
Across a field gone still
And I swear I hear you asking
If I remember still

And now there’s our line between us
We never meant to find
No one gives a reason
Just tells us where to stand

On different sides of something
We don’t understand
Yesterday your brother
Now a stranger in your hands

If I call your name out loud
Will you answer like before?
Or has something in between us
Closed that open door?

And now there’s our line between us
We never meant to find
No one gives a reason
Just tells us where to stand

On different sides of something
We don’t understand
Yesterday your brother
Now a stranger in your hands

There’s our line between us
But it was never mine
And I won’t turn against you
For something I don’t understand

If I see you in the silence
I won’t raise my hand

We didn’t draw this line
We didn’t draw this line
