"Crossfire" lyrics

"Crossfire"

Lights out, lights out on every street
It's like God turned the switch on us
Shout out, shout out for someone to hear
There's nobody left but the two of us

Hold tight, hold tight to memories
Oh my, it's so hard to let it go
Shout out, shout out for someone to hear
There's nobody left but the two of us

Oh Lord, what if we could say that we made it, oh whoa
Nothing here was broken or wasted, oh whoa
And we were all caught in the crossfire
And everyone was stood in the way
They're just waiting for a change
They're just waiting for a change

Dark clouds, dark clouds on every sky
We run fast towards the light
You said, you said that you could
Hear people laughing just like a happy life

All those years we spent alone
There must be life after tragedy
Shout out, shout out for someone to hear
And there's nothing left but the memory

Oh Lord, what if we could say that we made it, oh whoa
Nothing here was broken or wasted, oh whoa
We were all caught in the crossfire
And everyone was stood in the way
They're just waiting for a change
They're just waiting for a

What if this was not our fate and we still had the time
And what if everybody stood with arm in arm to fight together

Oh Lord, what if we could say that we made it, oh whoa
Nothing here was broken and wasted, oh whoa
We were all caught in the crossfire
And everyone was stood in the way
We're just waiting for a change
We're just waiting for

Oh Lord, what if we could say that we made it, oh whoa
Nothing here was broken or wasted, oh whoa
We were all caught in the crossfire
And everyone was stood in the way
They're just waiting for a change
They're just waiting for a change
