Shoot from the Lip

On a matter of opinion baby go for the throat

It's a faster way to settle than to open a vote

It's a paper thin line between love and insane

Baby you can have the battle if you're taking the blame

In the heat of the moment it's the words that burn

But nothing quite says it like a four letter word

So I shoot from the lip with a loaded tongue

Too proud to go down in love

Sometimes it's the silence that we need

Sometimes it's the spaces in between

I love you more, more than the air I breathe

There's no substitute for clearing the air

But it feels like forever that we take it there

And we're never gonna settle on polite exchange

When the first port of call is some loving rage

So we stand at the barrel of a loaded gun

And I can't walk away and baby you won't run

So we go round a circle with an infinite end

Cause we won't allow our pride to bend

Sometimes it's the silence that we need

Sometimes it's the spaces in between

I love you more, more than the air I breathe

Sometimes time is all we need

And I've been to the top of the world

So baby stop your crying

It's a long road down and we don't need it

And we keep going round

Sometimes it's the silence that we need

Sometimes it's the spaces in between

I love you more, more than the air I breathe

Sometimes time is all we need

Love is an open flame

And words that we exchange
