New Ones

I had a picture of what it would be like
If I moved back home in the spring
I'd get a job, and a downtown apartment
And we'd find a place for your things

It's eating away at me
All those moments alone
When I'm drunk and I'm hopeless and weak
It's eating away at me
I'm incomplete.

I had an idea of what it feel like
When all of my plans had been set
I'd sing you songs while you cooked me lasagna
And I'd kiss that spot on your neck

It's eating away at me
When the woman I'm with
Doesn't make me feel quite as at peace
It's eating away at me
I'm incomplete.

Well, this ain't a turning around
This ain't a lost and found
So look me in the eye and tell me why

Once upon a time
We knew what our love was for
Before we melted down our hearts
And turned them into tools of war

Too much black and white together
We've turned it all to grey
So take all the blurs and shadows
From the words that I say
That I say

Lover, please stand down
There's no more fight in me now

Our voices are so cold and lonely
Somewhere down the wire
So I'm calling cross the field
Baby hold your fire
Your fire

Lover, please stand down
There's no more fight in me now
Lover, please stand down
There's no more fight in me now

Someone's got blood on their hands
Someone's got blood on their hands
And I don't understand
We don't understand

Lover, please stand down
There's no more fight in me now
