Love & War

I'm gonna build a raft and set it on the water there
Hoping she will come, see the thing I made
What a thing I made


Today I'm gonna sail even if she doesn't show
The ocean can decide, love is like a wave
Love would never fail


Hope she gets here soon
I hope she isn't far away
But if she is, I'll sail anyway


Everyday that I love her I kill myself
It happens over and over, there's no one else
And I try to forget her but look at me
Giving everything away for free


And when I'm out at sea, I'm gonna write a song for her
I'll sing across the bay, hoping she will hear
Hoping she will hear


I think she's in her car and just above the motorway
To hear my serenade beckoning her near
beckoning her near


And then she's gonna swim
I didn't build my raft in vain
But if I did, we'll both drown anyway


'Cause everyday that I love her I kill myself
It happens over and over, there's no one else
And I try to forget her but look at me
Giving everything away for free
Giving everything away for free, free


Drown me, it'll stop the pain, if my love's in vain
'Cause I knew, I knew she'd never come
'Cause she couldn't bear the ocean
She couldn't stand the waves


So everyday that I love her I kill myself
It happens over and over, there's no one else
And I try to forget her but look at me
Giving everything away for free
