Your War

When your brother died
On that fateful day
He left your side
In your heart he stayed
Like a stranger
Like a friend

Watching your back as you walk to the light
Stepping out of the cradle straight into a fight
Trying to save the
Meaning of life, yeah

Things that you show me
Times that you loaned me
Tales that can't hold me
Like a claw
Things that you taught me
Times that you caught me
Tales that you told me
About your war
About your war
Yeah

When your wounded inside
Doesn't he feel the same
Take comfort in knowing
That he shares the pain
Double the person
You half the man

Tailing some air from your winter worn chair
Remembering your years in the barren north west
Boundless autumns
Spring brought the rain

Things that you show me
Times that you loaned me
Tales that can't hold me
Like a claw
Things that you taught me
Times that you caught me
Tales that you told me
About your war
About your war
War

Yeah
Things that you show me
Times that you loaned me
Tales that can't hold me
Like a claw
Things that you taught me
Times that you caught me
Tales that you told me
About your war
About your war
Yeah
