"I've got a girl, she tastes like rain on my tongue
She's got the moon in her hips
And her eyes burn up like the sun
When I'm gone from my girl
When I leave her alone
There ain't nothing that I'm running from"
--This verse is setting up the story, describing how amazing this girl is and what she means to him.
"There's war in my blood
I've still got wars to be won"
--He has some hate and desire to fight from a previous relationship and he needs to go rid himself of the anger before he can come back to his girl.
"My baby's soft and sweet
Somewhere between a flower and a gun
And where my girl is now, some day that's where I wanna be from"
--The girl he wants can be soft or hard and someday he wants to be by her side, once he has worked out he war from his blood.
"Love is a dollar that's already spent
Love is a song that we sung
There's war in my blood
Love ain't the tune in my lungs"
--He has already put all of his money/feelings into love with this girl and he loves this girl with everything he has, but he has a difficult time showing it, because of the hate in his heart, which he unfortunately displays while talking to her.
"So here's my consolation
An opponent is enough
It takes two to go to war
And only one to fall in love"
--Despite his attempts to make her happy he continues to be angry. His girl has a strong side and she stands up to him.
I had a girl, I know precisely what made her run
Her skin was like the sky
It made my heart beat itself like a drum
--He knows exactly what it was that tore them apart, the angry deep inside of him. "War in his blood."
I long for my girl and we meet in my dreams
I tell her she'll always be my only one
There's war in my blood
There ain't a thing love could have done
--No matter how much he loves this girl there was nothing the love could have done to overcome his hate.
There's war in my blood
There's war in my blood
There's war in my blood
-- Repeating the war in his blood, hoping that by making it known to himself and with time he can someday overcome it and return to his love.
Ultimately it boils down to having a deep angry and depression inside of you that causes you to push away the person you love the most. The pain and anger tears you and your love apart and you then set out to rid yourself of the anger so that someday you can return to your love. Fantastic song.
This is one of my favorite songs.
