Lyrics for Loose Cannons

It's only so long that you can stare That you can stare at the stars Until they become A black spot with white dots And it would be heartbreaking To imagine you and me As two prematurely retired loose cannons Take it off Your conscience Did you honestly think you could be satisfied To open the door and never step inside It's in allegiance To your young wisdom That I am taking our lives and tearing them Tearing them apart I do hope When you can't rest Wistful for an arm around your chest That you realize With every kiss Your lips Were half of it
