"WAR." lyrics
Left, right, left
Left, right, left
I woulda 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
Woulda 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 woulda 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
I ain't never 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 colors 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 woulda 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'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 woulda 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—
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 woulda 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—
And 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
Left, right, left
I woulda 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
Woulda 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 woulda 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
I ain't never 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

Go to war

And even if there were no survivors

Heaven knows that I'm not a fighter
But for you I'd go to war
