Lyrics

The leaves are about to fall
But we’re still stuck in the morning,
We try to resolve it all
But we’re running out of time

The wind rushes round our hearts
could it be some kind of warning,
We don’t even talk at all
Love is leaving us behind
The sun is grey, in this orange lit sky

Like a war that rages on and on
We’re running on a path to nowhere,
Lay your weapons down
Oh I surrender
Can we stop and call a truce,
Admit we made some bad decisions
Reaching out for you
We have too much to lose

The tension fills the room
Like a flood that’s overwhelming,
End this destruction now
Before it tears us both apart
Will we be saved, when the storm comes down?

Like a war that rages on and on
We’re running on a path to nowhere,
Lay your weapons down
Oh I surrender
Can we stop and call a truce,
Admit we made some bad decisions
Reaching out for you
We have too much to lose

I could put my pride aside
If you’re willing to try?
Lay your weapons down, end this struggle now
Lay your weapons down, we can work this out

Like a war that rages on and on
We’re running on a path to nowhere,
Lay your weapons down
Oh I surrender
Can we stop and call a truce,
Admit we made some bad decisions
Reaching out for you
We have too much to lose

(Lay your weapons down)
(Lay your weapons down)
We have too much to lose
(Lay your weapons down)
(Lay your weapons down)
We have too much to lose
