Make War (Long Version)

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 kept us innocent
 But the way you taught me to just let it all go back
 And so we've learn to be as faithless
 Stand behind bulletproof glass
 Exchanging our affections through a drawer
 And It was always horribly convenient and happening too fast
 You should count your change before you're even out the door
 Well, yes you should, but please return, return
 To the person that you were, and I will do the same
 'Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone
 My compass spins, but wilderness remains
 Once too often I've 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 would have known
 So let's let these tiny acts of charity becommon ground on 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 path you came there by
 But you will, so, so hurry up and run to the one that you love
 And blind him with your kindness
 And he'll make war, oh, war, on who you were before
 And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
 (Alright, now help me out boys)
 But now I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky
 There's still a few holes that let in a little rain
 And so it's crying on my shingles
 My floorboards moan under my feet
 The refrigerator's whining so I've got reason to complain
 But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments
 Some degrading song of psalm
 Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago
 Because the truth is that gossip's as good as gospel in this town
 You can save face but you won't ever save your soul
 And that's a fact so, so hurry up and run to the one that you love
 And tie him up in your likeness
 And he'll become, become, oh, the prisoner I was
 And know all that has spoiled in your heart
 He'll know it all
 He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart
 So hurry up and run to the one that you love
 And blind him with your kindness
 And he'll make war, oh, war, on who you were before
 And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
 Yeah, And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
 (So hurry up and run to the one that you love
 And blind him with your kindness
 And he'll make war, oh, war, on who you were before
 And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
 Yeah, And claim all that has spoiled)
