lyrics

you never meant to start a war, you were trying to get home / the guns are firing / and the bullets are sinking like lumps in your throat / but you can see the smoke is rising up in their eyes / you dare yourself to stand up straight and beg for the fight

teeth in skin and nails in your palm / well, you've seen better days / the girl in town who gave you her heart now won't look your way / but if you close your eyes, do you feel any lighter at all? / you want to know how to keep on standing when you feel so small

if you could push back time to relive yesterday / are you better off being no one, is that what you say? / but if there's no hope left for the boy who shoulders them all / when he shakes, does the city fall? / when you shake, do your friends all fall?

the moon is high above your head when you're pacing the town / if everyone wants you to rise up, why are they pushing you down? / if you hold your breath do you feel any lighter at all? / your heavy feet are far outweighed by your heavy heart

[repeat chorus]

you never meant to start a war, you were trying to get home / but the guns are firing / and the bullets are sinking like lumps in your throat / if you count to ten, do you feel any lighter at all? / maybe it's only in your head that you feel so small

[repeat chorus]
