A Love Like War Songtext / Lyric

Make a wish on our sorry little hearts

Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark

Fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark

I'm intoxicated by the lie



In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost

Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus

For the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust

As you tell me we're nothing but trouble



Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

Feels like war, war

Feels like war, war

Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

Feels like war, war

Feels like war, war



We go together or we don't go down at all

(We go together or we don't go down at all)






Fail-safe trigger, lock-down call

Wipe the dry clean-slate, quick, sound the alarm



No escape from the truth and the weight of it all

I am caught in the web of a lie

And the bitch of it all is that I'm running from

The desire of the people to whom I belong



At the end of the day you can tell me I'm wrong

'Cause you went to all of this trouble



Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite



Feels like war, war

Feels like war, war

Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

Feels like war, war

Feels like war, war

We go together or we don't go down at all

(We go together or we don't go down at all)

We go together or we don't go down at all

(Let's go!)



Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

It feels like war (it feels like war)

Love feels like war (love feels like war)



Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

Feels like war, war

Feels like war, war

Heart's on fire tonight

Feel my bones ignite

Love feels like war, war

Feels like war, war

(one more time!)

We go together or we don't go down at all

We go together or we don't go down at all

Is this the end of us or just the means to start again?
