We Were Owls

We Were Owls - Loved**g

We were just seventeen

And all alone

We had our hands in the gutter

But our hearts in the warm clouds

She said I know it's gonna hurt like hell

But it's all right

We were just seventeen and so in love

We were owls when they came in the night

We were looking for a creature to fight

I can see it that you're ready to go

Like a bat in the cave of my soul

We were just seventeen

And so afraid

We were balloons in the hands

Of the mothers in the Jesus parade

She said I know its gonna burn like fire

But its all right

Yeah

We were just seventeen and so in love

So in love so in love so in love so in love

We were owls when they came in the night

They were looking for a creature to fight

I can see it that you were ready to go

Like a bat in the cave of my soul

We had nothing but the blood on our hands

We were sitting but were willing to stand

We were owls barely escaping the day

Another moment and we'd give it away

We were owls when they came in the night

They were looking for a creature to fight

I can see it that you're ready to go

Like a bat in the cave of my soul

We had nothing but the blood on our hands

We were sitting but willing to stand

We were owls barely escaping the day

Another moment and we give it away
