Warm Day, Cold War

(album: Shake! Shake! Shake! - 2011)

Even cold wars have their warmer days
When everything stops and we sleep on it, it's when
Cold enemies look like warmer friends
If they don't, let's pretend, hey we've all got some rules to bend

We all reach a point when we find a way
To sink into a place where we think the same, but then
Find a loose end and a new reason to blame
What we can't contain, and the war carries on

So look out, look out man
When the cold's rolling in
You look out and see the wreckage
Let the warm day begin
Oh no, oh no-oh-oh

In automatic battle it feels cinematic
So dramatic that eventually you're numb to
All the others that see another point of view
Not like you, you're not like them
Hey we've all got some rules to bend

So look out, look out man
When the cold's rolling in
You look out and see the wreckage
Let the warm day begin
Oh no, oh no-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh no, oh no, oh no-oh-oh, oh-oh

It's all coming down to the line in the sand
Where the people gather 'round and decide where to stand
If the winds came in and blew away the lines
Just a bunch of people standing with nothing to divide

It sounds so easy but really there is no chance for
Breaking up the sides that decide what we stand for
So for now let's find a little common ground
And make a warm day in a cold war

So look out, look out man
When the cold's rolling in
You look out and see the wreckage
Let the warm day begin

So look out, look out man
Oh, oh
So look out, look out man
Oh, oh

Oh no, oh no, oh no-oh-oh
Oh no, oh no, oh no-oh-oh
