Last night,
A room full, drunk,
Sang along to the songs I never had
The courage to write.
Given the chance
I'd stay in this chorus forever,
Where everything ugly in this world
Is sadly beautiful
In our desperate memories.
No, we're not
Gonna call everyone on their shit tonight,
Even though the half of you won't even smile
The next time we pass on the street.
Maybe somehow
This scam will still save us all
Still save us all
Still save us all
Still save us all
(Will save us all)
Still save us all
Then I saw you
Dancing at a punk rock show
And for a moment
We walked the streets that everyone else
Had given up to 4 AM,
'Cause promises
And spray paint marking
Everywhere we went
And every direction
Only going as far
As we let it.
There's so many things
We try to do truthfully.
By the time it's through with us,
It all falls apart.
Maybe somehow
This scam will still save us all.
Still save us all
(Will save us all.)
Still save us all.
Still save us all
(Will save us all.)
Still save us all.

My friend Julie was totaled in a car wreck when we were 18, summer after our first year at university. I can't listen to this song without thinking about her--not only because of the title but also the memories--drinking rum, singing to classic rock in the dorm, passing joints and cigars in the forest, going to Wiccan rituals, skinny dipping on the beach, conversation of pure truth and empathy, and feeling completely comfortable in my honest self
I love this song and Against Me
