That's Not Who We Are

That’s not who we want to be
That’s not where we set the bar
That’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
I could treat you awfully
You could make it up, oh hard
But that’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
Long as we see that looming dark
Falling in time
Raise the shades in the tenth light
Comin' and rise
Some people need a pebo (?)
Heaven knows it’s hard to be dependable
Most people would throw the block
Or pull out the rug on each other when there’s trouble
That’s okay for people making memories
But that’s not for you and me, because that’s not who we are
That’s not who we want to be
That’s not where we set the bar
That’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
I could treat you awfully
You could make it up, oh hard
But that’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
And most folks walk the tightrope
Thinking someone’s there to catch them when they fall
But when they hit the ground there’s no one there at all
That might be cool for some people
Those who don’t mind being thrown under the bus
But that would never care for us, because that’s not who we are
We could treat each other cruel
Take it way too far
But that’s not us
No, that’s not who we are
That’s not who we want to be
That’s not where we set the bar
That’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
I could treat you awfully
You could make it up, oh hard
But that’s not who we are
(That's not who we are)
Are, are, are
Are, are, are
