We fumbled around
Pushing stones through the mesh
We reap as we sow
But so sown to the flesh
I had to dream in monochrome
A lie that they've spun
I think I hear heaven calling me home
When light pours from the sun
[Pre-Chorus]
Two lives, later I'll find
Everybody's gone 'round here
Raise arms, ain't got a hand to call mine
I'm still out to find my peace of mind
[Chorus]
I'm running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I'll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
[Verse 2]
We fumble around
Pushing homes from the nest
We're too far to be found
(Fighting in a good war)
I had to speak in protocol
Biting my tongue
Sometimes I hear hell calling me home
Yeah but I know, it's such a lie we spun
[Chorus]
I'm running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I'll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
I'm running on a heartbeat
I can feel it in my bloodflow
Eyes up when they call me
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
So send me off with a Godspeed
And I'll slip through the backdoor
You and I are gonna die free
'Cause we're fighting in a good war
[Verse 1] We fumbled around Pushing stones through the mesh We reap as we sow But so sown to the flesh I had to dream in monochrome A lie that they've spun I think I hear heaven calling me home When light pours from the sun [Pre-Chorus] Two lives, later I'll find Everybody's gone 'round here Raise arms, ain't got a hand to call mine I'm still out to find my peace of mind [Chorus] I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my bloodflow Eyes up when they call me 'Cause we're fighting in a good war So send me off with a Godspeed And I'll slip through the backdoor You and I are gonna die free 'Cause we're fighting in a good war [Verse 2] We fumble around Pushing homes from the nest We're too far to be found (Fighting in a good war) I had to speak in protocol Biting my tongue Sometimes I hear hell calling me home Yeah but I know, it's such a lie we spun [Chorus] I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my bloodflow Eyes up when they call me 'Cause we're fighting in a good war So send me off with a Godspeed And I'll slip through the backdoor You and I are gonna die free 'Cause we're fighting in a good war I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my bloodflow Eyes up when they call me 'Cause we're fighting in a good war So send me off with a Godspeed And I'll slip through the backdoor You and I are gonna die free 'Cause we're fighting in a good war Explain Request ×
