[Verse 1]
I woke up in the trench
With salt on my face
Your name in my teeth
Like I bit down on a blade
The table was split
The plate was gone cold
One look from your eyes
And the whole room got old
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
And my hands won't stay still
I keep reaching for you
Like a flag on a hill
[Chorus]
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
I keep falling
I keep falling for more
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
Hold me closer
Before we hit the floor
[Verse 2]
You threw down your words
Like stones in the rain
I wore every one
Like a mark on my name
The clock in the hall
Kept ticking so mean
While I stood in the smoke
Trying to keep us clean
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the air feels thin
And my hands won't stay still
I keep reaching for you
Like a flag on a hill
[Chorus]
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
I keep falling
I keep falling for more
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
Hold me closer
Before we hit the floor
[Bridge]
If we lay down our pride
Maybe morning comes through
I don't need to win
I just need you
[Final Chorus]
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
I keep falling
I keep falling for more
Tears in the war
Tears in the war
Hold me closer
We can heal from the floor
