If the ocean gets its way
We'd float until the end of days
But if you promise to be brave
I'll save you from the pouring rain

Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend?
You never were

Can I be your friend, your distant lover, or your anchor?
Can I be the one that gives you reason to burn?
Buried up inside, all vital signs are surely fading
Still there's just one thing you always seem to forget

We come in armies

When the devil comes to play
There surely will be hell to pay
And though the forces should be holding you back
Still you even have the nerve to ask

Can I be your friend?
You never were
Can I be your friend?
You never were

Can I be your friend, your distant lover, or your anchor?
Can I be the one who gives you reason to burn?
Buried up inside, all vital signs are surely fading
Every single time you always seem to give up

I could be the prophet that you need
I could be the earth beneath your feet

You'll learn, You'll learn

Baby when there's silence in the streets
We can really find a place to sleep

You'll learn, you'll learn

We come in armies
