lyrics

You’re sitting in that same chair
Sipping from that same glass
Listening to those same songs
Trying not to let the days pass

First summer’s here, then summer’s gone
But you’re still troubled by the same things
Push all my buttons, hear my voice on the other end
Now you can say all your insane things

You’re fighting a war that’s over
It ended long ago
But you can’t find your white flag
You’re too proud to let it show

You’re fighting a war that’s over now
But that’s the world you’re living in
I can’t get out ‘cause there’s one thing that I’ll never know:
Just what it takes to win

It feels a thousand miles wide
But you’re still sleeping in the same bed
Same blankets hanging over you
Same old pillow for that heavy, heavy head

First winter’s here, then winter’s gone
But you’re still staring at the ceiling
Those fan blades slice the night, they can’t stop spinning ‘round
You wonder if this could be the same thing

You’re fighting a war that’s over
It ended long ago
But you can’t find your white flag
You’re too proud to let it show

You’re fighting a war that’s over now
But you’re still in your boots
Just keep on marching, trust me, girl, you don’t wanna know
How bad it hurts to lose
