Love and War Lyrics

just another day in the deep, here because I gotta do it
never wanted to, but I know I gotta power through it
even if it's nothin' to it, I don't care to pursue it
I should be chasin' down the one thing that was there until I knew it
now it's gone, and I don't believe it wasn't took
I want, I need to find it, but I don't know where to look
I'm gonna lose my mind if I can't even find a shred around
call me Marlowe, gotta keep my head down
so for now, it's a mystery
one that cause me misery
like it's somethin' out of retrohistory
all that I'm seein' don't make sense to me
sittin' on the fence to me
seemin' like it might be too immense to me
intensity inside of me, I'm forced to keep a lid on it
piper at the commodore, gotta put a SID on it
sippin' on a 7-year until my mind's spent
all the while I contemplate and wonder where she went

girl, come right back to me
if you can't, take a pen and write back to me
are you alright? lack of me and you has
made the colorful white black to me
it kinda makes me sick to think
that I may not have been so quick to think
it kinda hit me like a brick to think
that maybe you could be the Rachel to my Rick

so I'm thinkin' 'bout
the last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life
she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight
I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)

the first time I saw the girl, it was a while back
kickin' it, when suddenly I'm hit with a smile that
went through me like a slug from a PKD
said the way that she be lookin' be retirin' me
I'm tryin'a see if I recall when he entered the picture
he had a lot of confidence, then I saw he picked her
I thought it's yet another case of luck passin' me over
but I never saw what's comin', way she angered when he told her..
man, the Rachel to my Rick, maybe even the Ilsa to my Rick
if I was able to stick to what she said
but I had to be a gumshoe, not a left foot
doesn't change the fact that I can't stand what he put into my
head, still resonatin', got me turnin' red
I knock back a stout, and then collapse into bed
and so I agonize over the way her eyes had nothin' in 'em
the way I couldn't be there when she needed me to get him
girl, come right back to me
if you can't, take a pen and write back to me
are you alright? lack of me and you has
made the colorful white black to me
it kinda makes me sick to think
that I may not have been so quick to think
it kinda hit me like a brick to think
that maybe you could be the Rachel to my Rick

so I'm thinkin' 'bout
the last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life
she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight
I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, I'd never seen her lookin' like
she had lost control, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, there was a bright flash of light
then the girl was gone, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
just another day in the deep, here because I can't amend it
now I'm livin' with the guilt, 'cause I just can't pretend it didn't
happen, can't forget about the girl, can't forget about her
eyes under cloudy skies, weather that I'm sure'll never
change anymore, but she said as she was drawn away
a swan song, a rain song, a "Ten Years Gone"
the way she left me with a plea, that's a lock without a key
(meet me at the speed of sound, meet me on the sea)

last time I saw the girl that changed the way I live my life
she was on her own, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, the last time I saw a fight
I was paralyzed, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, I'd never seen her lookin' like
she had lost control, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
the last time I saw the girl, there was a bright flash of light
then the girl was gone, I couldn't do a thing
(don't know why ya feelin' so sore, all is fair in love in war)
