Flags Lyrics - Singles - Sons & Daughters

I know you are, another planet miles apart 

Is it a question of things you really 

Should have cared about? 

You took a drive, countries called 

More than your friends did, they watched you fall 

And now you've pulled the wires right from the wall 

Flags, don't ask me how I'm doing 

I'm doing fine 

Set it straight, so there is no road left, only water 

Spent your time hopelessly alone 

It's no real price to pay anyway 

And your first letter came 

Stressing lines against the whitening page 

A trauma type, saturation stains 

Flags, he went from riches to rags 

Where are my friends? I'm a burden to their hallowed sense 

When I felt my head came to an end 

I made promises, I made promises never kept 

Your head at night 

So many thoughts fought for the finish line 

When there's no beginning before you're running out on time 

You're so hard to ignore 

You're on my mind from beach to trestle door 

I'm thinking of you, flat out cold, beneath the starboard floor 

Flags, don't ask me how he's doing 

He's doing fine 

Flags, he went from riches to rags
