CHARIOTS

When the words we use are sharper than an arrow
And the loudest voice the currency of fear
We have bought the lies we think will keep us safer
Closed our eyes to all we once held dear

We have turned our backs on things good men have died for
When we traded in our gospel for a gun
Sent our messages as threats across the ocean
We had lost before the fight began

Could it be you, could it be me
Could it be love is the weapon we need
We're fighting a cause, it,s not what it seems
Could it be love is the weapon we need
You and me are not the enemy

Is there nothing that will tame this wild addiction
And no courage to admit when it's gone wrong
Oh the road to hell is paved with good intentions
We still have time to sing a different song

Could it be you, could it be me
Could it be love is the weapon we need
We're fighting a cause, it,s not what it seems
Could it be love is the weapon we need
You and me are not the enemy

Could it be love is the weapon we need
Could it be, could it be
We're fighting a cause but it's not what it seems
Could it be, could it be
That you and me are not the enemy

Could it be you, could it be me
Could it be love is the weapon we need
We're fighting a cause, it,s not what it seems
Could it be love is the weapon we need
You and me are not the enemy

Tell me something I've been wondering
It's been weighing on my mind
Like a record we keep stuttering
Still replaying the same lines

I don't know how we fit together
I don't know how we've been so blind
Just press pause, step back for a minute
Take ourselves back to the beginning
Let's put us on rewind

I remember how we used to sound
Like a finely tuned guitar
Now it's time to flip this tape around
Try and get back to the start

I don't know how we fit together
I don't know how we've been so blind
Just press pause, step back for a minute
Take ourselves back to the beginning
Let's put us on rewind

Rewind, rewind, rewind us
Rewind, rewind, rewind us
Rewind, rewind, rewind us

I don't know how we fit together
I don't know how we've been so blind
Just press pause, step back for a minute
Take ourselves back to the beginning
Let's put us on rewind

Rewind, rewind, rewind us
Rewind, rewind, rewind us

Just press pause, step back for a minute
Take ourselves back to the beginning
Let's put us on rewind

Rewind, rewind, rewind us
Rewind, rewind, rewind us

It used to seem so clear
Laid out in black and white
No cause to ever fear
No need for compromise
The questions on my mind
The things I couldn't say

It used to feel so real
Inside this desperate heart
A joy no one could steal
A strong and steady start
The questions on my mind
The things I couldn't say

When I'm calling out your name
Is anyone listening?
When I've lost the words to say
Is anyone listening?
Just a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit closer
Can I find my way back to you?

It used to look so right
Dressed up and figured out
No place to run and hide
No room to ever doubt
These questions on my mind
The things I couldn't say

When I'm calling out your name
Is anyone listening?
When I've lost the words to say
Is anyone listening?
Just a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit closer
Can I find my way back to you?

Screaming out in vain, echoing
Silence fills the space, deafening
Fading us away, vanishing

Just a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit closer
Just a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit closer

When I'm calling out your name
Is anyone listening?
When I've lost the words to say
Is anyone listening?
Just a little bit, a little bit
Just a little bit closer
Can I find my way back to you?

One step forward, two steps back
All this chaos, it's been messing with my head
I've been wrong so many times, that I've lost track
When I try to makes things better, I just make it worse instead

I didn't wanna listen
You didn't wanna talk about it
Didn't know what I was missing
Wasn't seeing the signs

It's been a long time coming
I couldn't see a trace
I never saw you running
Then it hit me in the face
Every fracture, every break
I will fix all my mistakes
I don't wanna sleep alone
So I'll fight with every bone

It's been a long time coming
I couldn't see a trace
I never saw you running
Then it hit me in the face
Every fracture, every break
I will fix all my mistakes
I don't wanna sleep alone
So I'll fight with every bone

I've been messaging you daily
All this silence is still messing with my mind
Am I hanging onto nothing, am I crazy
I just wanna make it better, I just wanna make it right

It's been a long time coming
I couldn't see a trace
I never saw you running
Then it hit me in the face
Every fracture, every break
I will fix all my mistakes
I don't wanna sleep alone
So I'll fight with every bone

I don't wanna sleep alone
So I'll fight with every bone

It's been a long time coming

Stay near me, don't ever let me be
All by myself, all by myself
I don't know if I can keep control
Out of my depth, I'm out of my depth

And the waves keep crashing over me
And the waves keep crashing over me
But still you keep holding on,
Holding on, you keep holding on
To my heart

I can't see what's up ahead of me
I'll try to stay strong, try to stay strong
Don't let go, don't let me drift alone
Tether to me, tether to me

And the waves keep crashing over me
And the waves keep crashing over me
But still you keep holding on,
Holding on, you keep holding on
To my heart

Rushing around me and over my head
Stealing the air from my lungs, from my chest
I can hardly breathe

Dragging me downwards away from the light
Pulling me under, grasping me tight
I can hardly breathe

And the waves keep crashing over me
And the waves keep crashing over me
Still you keep holding on,
Holding on, you keep holding on
Still you keep holding on,
Holding on, you keep holding on
To my heart

Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines
Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines

All the same words
Too many times
Stuck in the motions
Trapped in the lies
Start a new chapter
It's time to turn the page

Holding my breath
Looking behind
I can't see tomorrow
Through yesterday's eyes
A change of perspective
It's time to turn the page

Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines
Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines

Rewrite the story
Change the lines

A whisper, a shout
A glimmer of light
Fire in my belly
A spark in my eye
This is the moment
It's time to turn the page

Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines
Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story

Change the lines

Leave, leave it all behind
Rewrite the story
Change the lines

Rewrite the story
Change the lines

Oh yeah
Just take us back
So, yeah

Just rewind us
'Cause I don't know
Press pause
To the beginning

Just press rewind
So, yeah
'Cause I don't know
Back to the beginning
