Battle Lines

(album: Downtime - 2018)

Why does it feel like we're doing hard time
Cause I don't wanna live to die
you know baby I'm just dying to live, again
You and I
We were young, we were living wild
Been so long since I seen that smile
Something I can only get when I give, and

I know we said some things and we can take 'em back
And you know you did some things, but I'm ok with that
I ain't giving up on everything we used to have
And I can't lose this fight

We've drawn these battle lines
Straight across our hearts
Why don't we tear 'em out
before we're ripped apart
And we've got these battle scars,
They could fade with time
But they tell story of you and me
so I'm keeping mine

Just love, from the start, ever since day one
Held up me up like your laugh was a gun
So I put my heart in the bag for you, now I'm asking you
Can love be the thing that we focus on?
We ain't gotta be a breakup song
Cause when it all goes down, you know that I'll fight for you

I know we said some things and we can take 'em back
And you know I did some things, are you ok with that?
Please don't give up everything we used to have
we can't lose this fight

We've drawn these battle lines
Straight across our hearts
Why don't we tear 'em out
before we're ripped apart
And we've got these battle scars,
They could fade with time
But they tell story of you and me
so I'm keeping mine

Battle lines
I think it's time we lose them
Battle lines
Let's pick them up and move them
These aren't just written lines
and I cross my heart
we gotta turn the page
And make a brand new start

Where we don't need battle lines
Straight across our hearts
Why don't we tear 'em out
before we're ripped apart
And we've got these battle scars,
They could fade with time
But they tell story of you and me
so I'm keeping mine
