Kisses Start Wars - Ryan Adams, The Cardinals

First things first, straight out of the box

it’s time to open your presents babe

here’s a family full of light I know it’s not much

This one is mine, I keep it with me all the time like a crutch

Like something ancient passed down from a father

something that nobody can touch

A kiss away from seeing the stars

you and I we are always on the way

on the way or in between the bars

and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost

But don’t worry baby

it’s not you,

this can’t be as crazy

and these kisses start the wars

I got to taste her sleepin'

but like junkies hate the blood

like drunks with all their missin' cigarettes

in apartments with skulls and blacked out windows

Artificial flowers and T.V. remote controls

I get lost, things change people don’t

people don’t, things change no

A kiss away from seeing the stars

you and I we are always on the way

on the way or in between the bars

and those kisses, those kisses they’re lost

But don’t worry baby

it’s not you,

this can’t be as crazy

Oh don’t, don’t worry baby

it’s not you, this can’t be as crazy

yeah these kisses start the wars

these kisses start the wars
