The Smith Street Band - When I Said Us I Meant Them lyrics

It took a photograph of her and me to get her home to her city Driving through the darkness, her lover pa**ed out in the back And as she drove through the country town without a thought of slowing down I really hope she forced that television smile for me A necklace and a set of keys from a whirlwind tour of Sydney And as the blood falls out my knees I remember why I hate to sleep Dreaming of car doors slamming, waking up to him on a single bed.. And when I said "us," I meant "them," And when I said "them," I meant "you," And when I said "you," I meant "nothing," And when I said "me," I meant "anyone," And when I said "Sam," I meant "Tom," And when I said "Tom," I meant "her," And when I said "us," I meant "them." And the community meant more to me than all the times that I'd believed that were one against a common enemy She looked at me and said, "Darling you make me so f**ing scared," And I upped and left and she was standing there on the same goddamn single bed I get up, I got to work, then I come back again I spend my money on a place that lets me live closer to my job So all this chest beating and fist pumping really means a whole f**ing lot This is all we have
