the war is over - cage the elephant lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was a young man, i never needed anyone
bruised and broken, shattered, always on the run
safe behind a half-smile, laying in the shadows
i became a rich man, i held the world up with my hands
inside i was a poor man, still screaming, “i don’t understand”
“why am i always running?” “why am i always hiding?”
“what’s the point in living when living feels like dying?”

[chorus]
you can build your walls, love will tear it down
you can hide your heart inside a man-made house
you can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
one day you will find love was on both sides
the war is over

[verse 2]
i came upon a wise man, he said, “sit beside me son”
“when i was a young man, i was like you, the prodigal son”
safe behind a half-smile, hidin’ in the shadows
tell ’em that it’s all right, tell ’em ’cause you said so

[chorus]
you can build your walls, love will tear it down
you can hide your heart inside a man-made house
you can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
one day you will find love was on both sides

[post-chorus]
the war is over, love’s already won
the war is over, the war is over
the war is over, love’s already won
the war is over, the war is over

[bridge]
time stands still so long
i feel so low
i know what follows, what follows

[chorus]
you can build your walls, but love will tear it down
you can hide your heart inside a man-made house
you can build your walls, build ’em to the sky
one day you will find love was on both sides

[post-chorus]
the war is over, love’s already won
the war is over, the war is over
the war is over, love’s already won
the war is over, the war is over
