Bright Eyes Make War Lyrics

Make War Lyrics

Our love is dead but without limit, like the surface of the moon or the land
between here and the mountains. It is not these hiding places that have keep us
innocent but the way you taught me to just let it all go by. So we have learned
to be as faithless, stand behind the bulletproof glass, exchanging our
affections through a drawer. It was always horribly convenient and happening
too fast. You should count your change before you are even out the door. Yes,
you should but please... 



Return, return to the person that you were. And I will do the same because it
is too hard to belong to someone who is gone. My compass spins. The wilderness
remains. Once too often, I have retreated into the depths of my despair. I
built a barricade to block you on the road. But standing there with all of my
possessions, piled higher than a house, I felt closer to you than you ever
could have known. So let these tiny acts of charity become common ground of
which to build a monument to commemorate our time. And though, you say, you've
found another who will surely speed you on your way, don't let the forest grow
over that you came there by. But you will, so... Hurry up and run to the one
that you love. And blind him with your kindness. And he will make war, old war,
on who you were before. And he'll claim all that has spoiled your heart. 



Well, now, I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky. There are
still a few holes that let in a little rain. So it is crying on my shingles. My
floorboards moan under my feet. The refrigerator is whining, so I've got reason
to complain. But I am not gonna bless you with such compliments, some degrading
psalm of praise, like the kind that converted you to me so long ago. Because
the truth is that gossip is as good as gospel in this town. You can save face
but you won't ever save your soul. And that's a fact. Hurry up and run to the
one that you love. And tie him in you likeness, And he'll become, become the
prisoner I was. And know all that has spoiled your heart.
