War. Songtext
Left, right, left
(I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm)
Left, right, left
(Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you)
I would've written the book on knocking
Just to die with a hand on your door
As a ghost I would come back and haunt here
(I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm)
Left, right, left
(Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you)
I would've written the book on knocking
Just to die with a hand on your door
As a ghost I would come back and haunt here
Just to knock, knock a little more
Would've shown you I'd go any length 'til
You know I could treat you right
And throw myself right on your grenade, girl
Blow, blow, blow your mind
Pull the pin 'cause I
Need a place to lie
My head down tonight
I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to—
And if there were no survivors
I'll show you you'rе worth dying for
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to war
Go to war
I ain't nеver been a bar room brawler
You and I know I wouldn't hurt a fly
But if you go and run your mouth about her
Buddy, how about we step outside?
I'd take bruises right on the chin 'cause
You say your favorite color's blue
But if it ever changed to red then
Honey, I would bleed out for you
Pull the pin 'cause I
Need a place to lie
My head down tonight
I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to—
And if there were no survivors
I'll show you you're worth dying for
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to war
Go to war
Sometimes it's an uphill battle
To show you that I am here
And I know that the box said "fragile"
But we showed up broken
Dear God, I would give my eyes up
If it would make her see
I'm the one before our time's up
Please
I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to—
And if there were no survivors
I'll show you you're worth dying for
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you I'd go to war
Go to war
And I'd go to war
Go to war
Go to war
I would've lit all myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to—
Even if there were no survivors
I would show you're worth dying for
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to war
Would've shown you I'd go any length 'til
You know I could treat you right
And throw myself right on your grenade, girl
Blow, blow, blow your mind
Pull the pin 'cause I
Need a place to lie
My head down tonight
I would've lit myself on fire
If it meant I could keep you warm
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to—
And if there were no survivors
I'll show you you'rе worth dying for
Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you, I'd go to war
Go to war
