[Verse 1] We said we’d catch each other on the way down Synchronized the fall like we rehearsed But somewhere between the catching and the crashing We became each other’s worst
I saw it coming - probably you did too The way a kind word lands wrong on a tender wound We’re not trying to hurt each other We’re just running out of room
[Pre-Chorus] There’s no enemy out there to fight When the damage comes from the side that’s right When the only one who gets behind your guard Is the one who knows exactly where it’s hard
[Chorus] Friendly fire We’re not at war but we’re casualties Friendly fire I know you didn’t aim for me We love too loud, we crash too close We never learned the art of letting go Friendly fire And we’re back in position
[Verse 2] You called a ceasefire - I agreed Lasted maybe three days, maybe four Then something small became something inevitable And we were back on the same floor
I know the exact words that get through your armor You know the exact place I can’t take We’ve mapped each other so completely That every move we make becomes a mistake
[Pre-Chorus] There’s no enemy out there to fight When the damage comes from the side that’s right When the only one who gets behind your guard Is the one who knows exactly where it’s hard
[Chorus] Friendly fire We’re not at war but we’re casualties Friendly fire I know you didn’t aim for me We love too loud, we crash too close We never learned the art of letting go Friendly fire And we’re back in position
[Bridge] We keep saying this time will be different We keep meaning it - that’s the tragedy If we didn’t care so much it would be simple But we do - and so we stay
In the synchronized falling We found the synchronized landing We’re synchronized - standing up We’re synchronized - reaching out Again…
[Final Chorus - key lift][Dramatic key lift and increased intensity] Friendly fire We’re not at war but we’re casualties Friendly fire I know you didn’t aim for me We love too loud, we crash too close We never learned the art of letting go Friendly fire Hand in hand - back in position Friendly fire Hand in hand - deeper in the dive Friendly fire And we’re both still alive
We’re synchronized and falling Falling Still We’re not at war but we’re hurting Friendly Fire
