Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah

[Verse 2]

I'm sinking inside

And the masts and lines are broken down tonight

I swallow my pride

But we're drownin' in the ocean and it's tearin' my heart open, baby

[Verse 3]

We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no

And we're changin' like we tides, yeah

But I want you, I need you, and I guarantee you

We'll make it out alive

[Verse 4]

'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 we love like battleships

Like battleships

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Bombs fly through the air

And I know that we're both playing not so fair

Oh, show, show me you care

Got my white flag up and it's wavin'

'Cause you know this love's worth savin', baby

[Verse 7]

We're high then we're low, first it's yes then it's no

And we're changing like we tides, yeah

But I want you, I need you, and I guarantee you

We'll make it out alive

[Verse 8]

'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 we love like battleships

Like battleships

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

And we love, yeah, we love

And we love, yeah, we love

[Verse 11]

I'm sinkin' inside

Can we finally put our weapons down tonight?

[Verse 12]

'Cause I don't wanna fight no more (Yeah, yeah)

Even when the waves get rough

I don't wanna see the day we say we've had enough

(See the day we've had enough)

And I don't wanna fight this war (No)

Bullets coming off our lips

But we stick to our guns and we love like battleships

Like battleships

[Verse 13]

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

[Verse 14]

(Ooh, I can love, yeah, we love)

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom

(Oh, and the cannon goes)

And the cannon goes

(Ooh, I can love, yeah, we love)

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom, boom boom

Boom, ba-boom, boom, ba-boom

We love like battleships
