Do you really want to make a war?
Do you really 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
