A huge footprint of love
And kindness behind
Which is where you once stood
And I know you're afraid
To get on the plane
After what happened that day
And selfishly I want you here in my way
But animals come
And animals go
But love is just a laundry line
We hang on until
We're dried out by the sun
And when you think your turn is done
You end up getting dirty
And it's all again begun
Now words I think are just
A noisy dirty wind
Makes the trouble we get in
So why do we speak
Now we made another war
That's what men are good for
Men with stupid insecurities
Not a lot more
And satisfied they try
Its written about again
But who the hell reads history?
Apparently not men
Cause nothing's guaranteed
Except the politics of need
Did the romans see the ship go down
Or were they asleep?
I shouldn't expect to live
And I shouldn't expect to die
But I wouldn't mind being beside you, dear
On that laundry line to dry
And for my grandma and brother
My father and my mother
And you my sweetest lover
To you all I will say
Merry christmas I love you
And god is above you
Merry christmas I love you
And god is above you
Merry christmas I love you
If god takes you he leaves A huge footprint of love And kindness behind Which is where you once stood And I know you're afraid To get on the plane After what happened that day And selfishly I want you here in my way But animals come And animals go But love is just a laundry line We hang on until We're dried out by the sun And when you think your turn is done You end up getting dirty And it's all again begun Now words I think are just A noisy dirty wind Makes the trouble we get in So why do we speak Now we made another war That's what men are good for Men with stupid insecurities Not a lot more And satisfied they try Its written about again But who the hell reads history? Apparently not men Cause nothing's guaranteed Except the politics of need Did the romans see the ship go down Or were they asleep? I shouldn't expect to live And I shouldn't expect to die But I wouldn't mind being beside you, dear On that laundry line to dry And for my grandma and brother My father and my mother And you my sweetest lover To you all I will say Merry christmas I love you And god is above you Merry christmas I love you And god is above you Merry christmas I love you Explain Request ×
