When the war is over
And we go back to every day, every day
Will it be the same again?
When you been turned inside out and outside in
Singing from the windows
Shadows on the wall, the way they dance
It's not much of nothing
But look at this fire burning bright
Look at how the children play
Well, none of us know what's to come tomorrow
But I'm not going out today
So dance with me like the time we've got is borrowed
Singing from the windows
Sirens in the dark, where are you going?
Pretend that is nothing
But look at this fire burning wild
This is how we keep holding on
All days, all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try, they won't stop
Singing from the windows
Something outside but I don't know
When the war is over
Picking up the pieces of every day
Memories and picture frames
Tryin' to put the inside out and outside in
Singing from the windows
Walking down the hall, nowhere to go
Be good to see you
We'll get going again
When the war is over
