Make War

Bright Eyes

Our love is dead but without limit 
Like the surface of the moon 
Or the land between here and the mountains 
It is not these hiding places that have kept us innocent 
But the way you taught me to just let it all go back 
So we learn to be as faithless 
Stand behind bulletproof glass 
Exchanging our affections through a drawer 
It was always horribly convenient and happening too fast 
You should count your change before you're even out the door 
Well, yes you should, but please return, return 
To the person that you were, and I will do the same 
'Cause it's too hard to belong to someone who is gone 
My compass spins, but wilderness remains 
Once too often I've retreated into the depths of my despair 
I built a barricade to block you on the road 
But standing there with all of my possessions piled higher than a house 
I felt closer to you than you ever would have known 
So let's let all these tiny acts of charity become ground on which to build 
A monument to commemorate our time 
And though you say you've found another who will surely speed you on your way 
Don't let the forest grow over that path you came there by 
But you will, so, so hurry up and run to the one that you love 
And blind him with your kindness 
And he'll make war, oh, war, on who you were before 
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart 
But now I tell myself I've mended under these patches of blue sky 
There's still a few holes that let in a little rain 
And so it's crying on my shingles 
My floorboards moan under my feet 
The refrigerator's whining so I've got reason to complain 
But I'm not gonna bless you with such compliments 
Some degrading song of praise 
Like the kind that converted you to me so long ago 
Because the truth is that gossip's as good as gospel in this town 
You can save face but you won't ever save your soul 
And that's a fact so, so hurry up and run to the one that you love 
And blind him in your likeness 
And he'll become, become, oh, the prisoner I was 
And know all that has spoiled in your heart 
Yeah, he'll know it all 
He'll know all that has spoiled in your heart 
so hurry up and run to the one that you love 
And blind him with your kindness 
And he'll make war, oh, war, on who you were before 
And claim all that has spoiled in your heart
