Do you really want to make a war
do you want to toss and turn

those motivations make for heavy
thoughts
those situations make
for heavy hearts

Do you really want to paint a red
cross on my door
wouldn't you rather lay a mattress
on the floor

and save our breath for kinder words
do you really want to make a war

I love you…
You know that I do
even though I know there's never gonna be
a silver lining for us two

I heard for a couple of weeks you could
see mars just like the moon
Do you remember that sweet soul music
we made up in your room
phone lines across the Atlantic crackle
and spit
baby baby I'm so tired of it

I love you…
You know that I do
even though I know there's never gonna be
a silver lining for us two

I love you…
I promise I do
even though I know there's never gonna be
a silver lining for us two
