Rob Thomas - Sleep Till The War Is Over Lyrics

You say we're better off not knowing,
If we cannot save a life.
Somebody said there's a new day coming,
Yeah but it don't feel right.

And we weigh out these scars,
Because we got no imagination.
And we trade these lives,
For any feeling we can ever know.

[Chorus:]
All I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss,
All I can do is try to live my life,

But I don't want to dance,
I don't want to sing,
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over.
I don't want to lose everything,
I just want to sleep 'til the war is over.
But it ain't over.

You say you judge them by their color,
But what you can't say is why.
Is it too hard to just love one another?
Where do we take this life?

And we weigh out these scars,
They say we got no destination.
And from where we are,
It seems we're never gonna make it home.

[Chorus X2]

All I can do is try to make some sense of all this loss,
All I can do is try to close my eyes
