Gunboat Diplomacy - A Furious Battle Lyrics

A furious battle
And I was late to pick sides
Now it's time to die
What a night to feel alive
And plant a flag on the molehill of my pride
I retreat to cliches
When truth's in the way
And love is as real
As the taste of your wine
It mingles with mine
What's the difference in this place and time
It's the funniest thing
To feel like a boy
With a last wish left
For a place in your bed
Though it's better unsaid
Despite what your eyes may confess

Do you recall the night that you learned how to fold
And the reason you feared you'd never be able to hold
You talked me down from the ledge
My bets were all hedged
I should have been sober
But cool was the head
That laid on my chest
With fears to express
But you kept them in and sent me back west

Dressed to the nines
I come off like a sleaze
I took what was divine
And tossed it all to the swine
They paid it no mind
So careless with my liberty
The look in your eye
Oh it's how I get by
It may be another lie
That I'll trade for a sigh
You can't catch in time
Without you I'm liable to see

It's a mission of mine
As of this moment in time
To write a song you like
That won't drive you away
Or get you to stay
Just good enough to remember that day
Just good enough to remember that day
