War
Wolf & Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lay down
In a cornfield now

Cuz I'm afraid
Of what's at stake

Cuz habits come
I think they should go
But this one
It won't leave me no

It won't leave me no

I'm not fireproof
And the heat is

Burning through
I can feel it

I'm not fireproof
And the heat is

Burning through
I can feel it

Coming
Feel it
Coming
I can feel it
Coming Coming

Don't shut me
Cuz I shut down

And leave me in the cold
The smallest push thaws me out

And I
I reveal
What I've conceived

We stay alive
And we keep it real

We don't need to feel

I'm not fireproof
And the heat is

Burning through
I can feel it

I'm not fireproof
And the heat is

Burning through
I can feel it

Coming
Feel it
Coming
I can feel it
Coming Coming

It's a war
We both need to win
A tiny fall

A bigger spin
Hold the sunset till
It is field

In the sky it stays revealed

It's a war
We both needs to win
A tiny fall

A bigger spin
Hold the sunset till
It is field

In the sky it stays revealed

It's a war
We both need to win

It's a war
We both need to win





It's a war
We both
