Can We Call A Truce Lyrics
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
When it's going down
I don't wanna fight
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you
I wrote a list of my demands
But I left it at a friend's
I rehearsed a little speech
But the whole thing got too preachy
So it seems like
I'm back on scratch again
I read a magazine last night,
All our issues came to light
I memorized it piece by piece
But I guess it's not that easy
Now it seems like
I'm back on scratch again
And it seems like
In all the fighting, we're losing sight
And it feels like
All this time we once were tight
And it seems like
We're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
When it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you
I met your ex and she advised
To wise up and to make nice
I always thought she was a bore
But then that's another story
And I feel like
I'm back on scratch again
And at this show the other night
I met your friend, the skinny guy
I swear he tried to make a pass
I guess he never was too classy
And I feel like
I'm back on scratch again
And it seems like
In all the fighting, we're losing sight
And it feels like
All this time we once were tight
And it seems like
We're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
When it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you
If we can't reconcile then can we just not fight?
Every second that youre gone I want you by my side
Another minute with you not around,
I just might lose my mind (ooh)
Was I wrong all the while or were you just not right?
We're supposed to be side by side
All I wanna do is set things right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
When it's going down
I don't wanna fight, I know I'm not right
Can we call a truce?
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
When it's going down
I don't wanna fight
We both have our truths
And I just wish this God damn mess
We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you
But I left it at a friend's
I rehearsed a little speech
But the whole thing got too preachy

We could try and play it cool
I don't wanna fight
And lose you

Beautiful song. I love it. I love the strings. The #1 song on my iPod (it was played over 200 times). Helps me fall asleep.
Pretty simple: a couple is drifting apart because they are constantly fighting. They are trying to figure out how to make it work.
This can apply to all sorts of relationships - romantic or friendship. There is a point when you don't know how to make it work. There is something going on and you want to find a solution, but it seems like nothing is working. Sometimes, you don't even know why it's not working and reminisce about how good it used to be.
