Pride of the Echelon by The Actual Lyrics

[Verse]
Hello Vampire, where've you been?
You look like you've seen better evenings
Your teeth fell out, you're stuck on skin
I get no threat behind your breathing

[Pre-Chorus]
A paper voice still sounding
Like you're screaming black and blue
So if you're throwing your coins in the fountain
Save a buck or two for me and you

[Chorus]
We're the ones they never counted on
Me and you
From the sandbox to the grave
For me and you
For the pride of the echelon
Yeah I swear, I swear we'll make it out someday
Me and you
The the pride of all they threw away
[Verse]
The messengers won't ever reach your door
If there's no one there to greet them
The fireflies won't stay out late no more
Because the hummingbirds will eat them

[Pre-Chorus]
So keep me safe in your pocket like a kangaroo
And I will keep you in the back of my thoughts like a bill that's six months overdue
'Cause the night
It don't fall fast enough to come cover up this blue
And if I tell this story long enough do you think it might come true for me and you?

[Chorus]
The ones they never counted on
Me and you
From the sandbox to the grave
For me and you
The pride of the echelon
Yeah I swear, I swear we'll make it out someday
Me and you
The pride of all they threw away

[Bridge]
So I admit it - I can't make it on my own
With a checkered past
A house of glass, and I'm still throwing stones
But the city lights they can't stay alight on love and love alone
It we burn the map and start that journey over...
We just might make it home
We just might make it home
We just might make it home
