"White Flags" lyrics - OUR LADY PEACE

OUR LADY PEACE
"White Flags"
(Duncan Coutts / Raine Maida / Steve Mazur / Jeremy Taggart)

She says it's cold
And she says the sky's about to fall
How do you know?
Well she says the writing's on the wall
Everything I made I somehow broke
Every word I say, I think I stole
I can't explain
But I won't give up the ghost

She looks like an angel
Talks like it's war

And this whole world has gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering

She's says it's late
Well come on we're headed for the sun
I said, "Now wait"
Ah this battle's just begun
Every line I've crossed has come undone
Everything I know is somehow wrong
I can't escape
And there's nowhere left to run

She looks like an angel
Talks like it's war

And that whole world has gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
But no retreat and no surrendering

I'm gonna fall with you
Crawl with you
I'm gonna fall with you
I've built these walls with you
Oh no

And this whole world has gone crazy
God's gone a little lazy
We're raising our white flags and holding our breath
Oh we're trading out black hearts for angels instead
But no retreat and no surrendering
