[Verse 1]
I thought we figured out how not to spill blood
I thought we figured out to walk away
I thought we found that love was not a failure
Decided that the sea would have no waves

[Pre-Chorus]
And it kills me 'cause I get worked up and you get worked up
And we get worked up for nothing, yeah
I get worked up and they get worked up
And we get worked up for what?

[Chorus]
Calm down, calm down
Calm down, oh, calm down

[Verse 2]
Is this the way it is for other people?
I wonder if they feel it like I do
I know there is more love than there is evil
A war is just a waste of me and you

[Pre-Chorus]
And it kills me 'cause I get worked up and you get worked up
And we get worked up for nothing
I get worked up and they get worked up
And we get worked up for what?
