Lyrics

Battleships

Yeah

I'm sinkin' inside
And the mass and lines are broken down tonight (down tonight)
I swallow my pride
But we're drowning in the ocean
And it's tearing my heart open, baby

We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no
And we're changing like the tides
Yeah, but I want you, I need you and I guarantee you
We'll make it out alive

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes

Bombs fly through the air
And I know that we're both playing not so fair
Oh-oh, so, show me you care
Got my white flag open, it's waving
'Cause you know this love's worth saving baby

We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no
And we're changing like the tides
Yeah, but I want you, I need you and I guarantee you
We'll make it out alive

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom

And we love, yeah, we love
And we love, yeah, we love
I'm sinkin' inside
Can we finally put our weapons down tonight?

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more
Even when the waves get rough
I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough
And I don't wanna fight this war
Bullets coming off our lips
But we stick to our guns and make love like battleships
Like battleships

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom
And the cannon goes
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom, boom
Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom

And we love like battleships
