Give Me Peace

(album: A Man Alive - 2016)

I'm so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Float it up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see

If you could you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move

We fell down to the equator
Caught a breath, wondered aloud
What happens to us later?
What happens to us now?
What if, what if
What if I need my one enemy?

I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue

I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue

I know you built a model home
As close as you can come to be
I can't go the way you've gone
They're different from us and they wait for me

I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue
I wait and ask after you
I stay as still as a statue

I'm so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Float it up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see

That if you could you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move

I'm so much older now
Give me peace, give me peace
Float it up over and out
So you can sleep and I can see

I know if you could you would do it
A lifetime of love to prove
But I would never hold you to it
Everyone has the right to move
