[Verse 1] You kiss like a siren I brace like a wall Your name in my mouth Feels like a shell casing fall You pull me in close Like you’re measuring the room Then leave a red mark Like a map of the doom [Pre-Chorus] One step in Then the alarms start One step back And you’ve already got my heart Your touch like static On a live wire skin I’m back at the gate I’m back at the gate again [Chorus] A war is coming A war is coming You raise me up Then you take the town A war is coming A war is coming I want the rush I hate the sound [Verse 2] You leave your coat On the chair by my bed Like a flag in a place That should’ve been left Your laugh hits hard Like boots on the stair I say I’m done here Then I end up there [Pre-Chorus] One step in Then the alarms start One step back And you’ve already got my heart Your touch like static On a live wire skin I’m back at the gate I’m back at the gate again [Chorus] A war is coming A war is coming You raise me up Then you take the town A war is coming A war is coming I want the rush I hate the sound [Bridge] If I back off Do you chase? If I stand my ground Do you wait? Say it straight Before we split 'Cause every truce Looks like this [Final Chorus] A war is coming A war is coming You raise me up Then you take the town A war is coming A war is coming I want the rush I hate the sound A war is coming A war is coming I say your name And the room goes down
