The Wonder Years - Cardinals

Cardinal crashed into my window I think he might die
I'll plan him a funeral I'll read his last rites
Because I know what he saw in that reflection of light
On the glass was a better life
Staring at a hole in your chest that's been dug there for decades
American broken promises
Caught between the lies you've been fed and a war with your bloodstream
I should have been there when you needed a friend
I was off on my own again, selfish and stupid
So if you call me back or let me in
I swear I'll never let you down again
I know the devil you've been fighting with
I swear I'll never let you down again
I had that nightmare again you're seven and helpless
Angry as hell and you balled up your fists
But I laughed at your swings and I beat you half conscious
I know that I failed you Woke up in a sweat
I want those years back
So if you call me back or let me in
I swear I'll never let you down again
I know the devil you've been fighting with
I swear I'll never let you down again
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
So if you call me back or let me in
We're no saviors
I swear I'll never let you down again
If we can't save our brothers
I know the devil you've been fighting with
We're no saviors
I swear I'll never let you down again
If we can't save our brothers
So if you call me back or let me in
We're no saviors
I swear I'll never let you down again
If we can't save our brothers
I know the devil you've been fighting with
We're no saviors
I swear I'll never let you down again
If we can't save our brothers

I heard this song yesterday for the first time and fell in love! Been listening to it on repeat ever since and had to give it a crack. Mind the mistakes.
