Opposites Attract

They were the best of friends
So easily replaced
It was the easiest of tests
That no one ever aced
It was on the foulest of them all
That the best of them were based

The greatest and most striking
Were taken as the worst
Only the last of them
Were the few who came in first
You’ve put the bombs inside of us
Do it before they all burst

You might get what you want
But you’d probably have to lie
You can find what’s on the out
But only if you look inside
You’ve finished everything
As if you ever really tried

If it wasn’t for the future
You’d never know the past
If it weren’t for those bad time
You’d never have a blast
Life is sort of like a play
Are you even in the cast?

If it wasn’t for what you remember
You could overlook how to forget
Things will change for the better
But this is how they’re set
Take back all the things you said
Even if you haven’t said them yet
