lyrics

Hey put down your flag
What are you fighting for, hiding from, waiting on
And are you okay
How've you been these days
I guess I forgot how to ask and how to try

Sometimes you almost remember my name
And I wouldn't think twice about leaving your side
Cause that's how I gauge the good days
When I see the man I knew
Before the accident

Hey what's that you say
You recall sleeping in, waking halfway through the day
But that's not what you'd say
Cause you forgot how to speak and how to walk

But sometimes you almost remember my name
And I wouldn't think twice about leaving your side
Cause that's how I gauge the good days
When I see the man I knew
Before the accident

Don't turn away
What are you fighting for, hiding from, waiting on
And what can I say
To make it all okay
To take it back and stop the clock and show you

Something your daughter would like you to see
She's growing up so fast you'd hardly believe it
And sometimes I wish it was me
Just so she'd know the way you were
Before the accident

Sometimes you almost remember my name
And I wouldn't think twice about leaving your side
Cause that's how I gauge the good days
When I see the man I knew
Before the accident
