Kisses Start Wars

Ryan Adams · Other Songs - Ryan Adams

First things first

Straight out of the box

It's time to open your presents, baby

It's a thimble full of light and nope, it's not much



This one is mine

I keep it with me all the time like a crutch

But something ancient passed down from my father

Something that nobody can touch



A kiss away from sea and the stars

In the night when your home is on the way

On the way or in between the bars

And those kisses, those kisses, they're lost



But, ooh

Don't worry, baby

It's not you

This can't be as crazy

And these kisses start the war



I got a taste of sleeping

Wreck like junkies eight o'clock

Like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes

And the prophets in schools and black dull windows



Artificial flowers

And TV remote controls, I get lost

Things change, people don't

People don't, things change, no



A kiss away from sea and the stars

Even when I think all is underway

On the way or in between the bars

And those kisses, those kisses, they're lost



But, ooh

Don't worry, baby

It's not you

This can't be as crazy



Oh, don't

Don't worry, baby

It's not you

This can't be as crazy

Damn, these kisses start the wars

These kisses start the wars
