all the reasons we don't have to fight
We used to sleep real late, play our records loud. Times we were broke, we'd laugh about it. Sometimes we'd just leave town, go down to the shore, Watch the waves close out, just to be close, just to be close.  I don't want to fight anymore, About childish things we did before, I didn't mean what I said last night. I love you more than who is right and wrong, I want to stay and I made this song Of all the reasons we don't have to fight.  These words we shout, so who's to say Where they will go when they fall away? Maybe they hang around with the lonely kids, With a balled up fist, saying, you did this, you did this.  I don't want to fight anymore, About what we lost or things we swore. I didn't mean what I said last night. I love you more than who is right and wrong, I'm gonna stay and made this song Of all the reasons we don't have to fight.  The morning light goes red to gray On what we've broken and throw away. If I could I just know how to walk away from my pride, Could you help me out? Can we put it back, put it back?  I don't want to fight anymore, I don't even know what it started for. I didn't mean what I said last night. I love you more than who is right and wrong, I stayed up late and I made this song Of all the reasons we don't have to fight.
