Your words are quick, and they cut so deep

The walls go up, waiting here, wishing here, wishing here, waiting

You forget I know your tender spots, I can hurt you too,

But I'm the one loving you, so come on and love me



Chorus:

Lay down your arms

Lay down, down, down, down

Why'd you want to go

And shoot love to the ground

Lay down your arms

Lay down, down, down, down

Lay with me



So close then the moment's shattered, like nothing mattered

Pushing me, pulling you, pulling me, pushing

Don't want to tear our love apart, I want to give my heart

Can't we start living here, giving



Chorus



So we are in love, so we are at war

But we can be on the same side

(repeat chorus)
