The Fighter Lyrics
Eyes so green like a treetop canopy.
So curious,
Lips are red like a hilltop forest fire.
Oblivious,
Voice so sweet like a songbird singing choir.
So tell me now,
Whats in your head?
My patience hanging by a thread.
and you are the fists tht bruise my face.
This burning desire,
her innocence is such a waste. (x2)
Tip the scales like a prison ball and chain.
And take this trust,
Once it's gone it can never be regained.
Cos it's a must,
truth be told all secrets see the light.
Tell me why?
My patience hanging by a thread.
And you are the fists tht bruise my face.
This burning desire,
Her innocence is such a waste. (x2)
Save her, save me...
And you are the fists tht bruise my face.
This burning desire,
Her innocence is such a waste. (x2)
This is a great, great, great song
agreed. the fighter is a brilliant song, but i think the lyrics are incomplete.
This song has gotta be about lust. He wants a chick, and she wont put out. 'her innocence is such a waste' possibly saving herself or something.
yeh after wot womack said i swear hes right! it all points to it aye! "my patience hanging by a thread" hes sick of waiting for it. shes a virgin i recon, coz of the part where it says "take this trust, once its gone it can never be re-gained"
womack is right all the way. the guy wants her bad, but she just isn't ready for it, maybe even scared about it. any other thoughts on what "the burning desire" is, please share
I can completely see how you can see this song is about sex.. And it very well could be, but to me I thought her innocence was more her being so naive not being able to see that the write has feelings towards her.. hence, "So curious, Lips so red like a hilltop forest fire, Oblivious.." He really likes this girl and he's trying to show her but she just wont see, so hes trying desperately to gain her trust and get her to tell him all her secrets to feel close to her.. He keeps fighting for her affections but she keeps turning her back on him and shutting him down something fierce, hence "Cos I am the fighter and you are the fists that bruise my face" which is further confirmed by the use of present tense with the word "bruise" not "bruised" because she keeps hurting him.. Thats just my impression anyway.. Great song, Saw them play at fishers, hurrah I have a photo with Ben!
Cos i am the fighter, and you are the fists tht bruise my face. This burning desire, her innocence is such a waste
friggen awsum song... yeh i get wat ya mean wit the hole sex thing, he does want her n she ant given it to him.. i rekon it shows this wit the innocence is such a waste part... cuz her body is hot n shes wastin it by not givin him wat he wants
this is my song with a guy i once knew. the situation of the guy wanting her but she says no.
