Songtext War of words Jack Savoretti

War of words

I dream of a world you want to see
But it doesn't mean the same to you as it does to me
You look for the meaning everywhere
I walk away, but that's not to say that I don't care

How does time decide
How you and I make up our lives?

A war of words is not the answer
To all the questions that we ask
It's a tale as old as time
Maybe love is still the answer
To all our lives that just go by too fast
Let the past be in the past

You'll never change what you have done
But you can choose to b? the person you've b?come
Moving up and moving on
Life's a race that everybody has to run

How do we make sense of it all?
How do we rise where no one needs to fall?

A war of words is not the answer
To all the questions that we ask
It's a tale as old as time
Maybe love is still the answer
To all our lives that just go by too fast
Let the past be in the past

I hear the children play
And I don't have to listen to know
What their laughter's trying to say

Oh, a war of words is not the answer
To all the questions that we ask
It's a tale as old as time
Maybe love is still the answer
To all our lives that just go by too fast
Let the past be in the past, oh

A war of words is not the answer
To all the questions that we ask
It's a tale as old as time
Maybe love is still the answer
To all our lives that just go by too fast
Let the past be in the past
