All The Reasons We Don’t Have To Fight - Tift Merritt

We used to sleep real late, play our records loud

Times we were broke, we’d laugh about it

Sometimes we’d just leave town, go down to the shore

Watch the waves close out, just to be close, just to be close

I don’t want to fight anymore

About childish things we did before

I didn’t mean what I said last night

I love you more than who is right and wrong

I want to stay and I made this song

Of all the reasons we don’t have to fight

These words we shout, so who’s to say

Where they will go when they fall away?

Maybe they hang around with lonely kids

With a balled up fist, saying «you did this, you did this»

I don’t want to fight anymore

About what we lost or things we swore

I didn’t mean what I said last night

I love you more than who is right and wrong

I’m gonna stay and made this song

Of all the reasons we don’t have to fight

The morning light goes red to gray

On what we’ve broken and thrown away

If I could, I just know how to walk away from my pride

Could you help me out?

Can we put it back, put it back/

I don’t want to fight anymore

I don’t even know what it started for

I didn’t mean what I said last night

I love you more than who is right and wrong

I stayed up late and I made this song

Of all the reasons we don’t have to fight
