lyrics

I don't have time
For your Joan-of-Arcs and Bonapartes and
Soldiers long since dead
Once the battle raged, but at this stage it's
All up in your head

And though I try
To forget the past, you make it last when
You come back for more
You start calling names and playing games, but
I've been keeping score
I'm tired of keeping score

Throw down your arms and armor
Let's call a cease fire
No one's getting any younger
Let's call a cease fire
Please, baby please, I feel like I'm dying
I know that we could make it if we'd just keep trying
Throw down your arms and armor
Let's call a cease fire

Remember when
We used to laugh and play, and you might say we
Fit just like a glove
Now our hearts are worn, and the seams are torn
We're falling out of love
But if we try
We could make amends, we'll still be friends
It's no one's fault at all
I'll apologize if you'll realize
That you drive me up the wall
Baby, it's your call

[Chorus]

They say history is written by the winners
And in war everyone's a sinner
When it comes to love you know we're all beginners
And so I hope that we can make this thing right

And I know how
We could start again, make art again in
Perfect harmony
We'll work out the kinks if you'll stop and think and
Speak your mind to me
But please don't try
Weaponizing guilt until blood is spilt and
We part ways for good
Babe, I love you so, and I think you know
We're both misunderstood
Let's do this like we should

[Chorus]
Let's call a cease fire
