When the war is over
And we go back to every day, every day
Will it be the same again
When you've been turned inside out and outside in?
Singing from the windows
Shadows on the wall, the way they dance
Not much of nothing
But look at this fire burning bright
Look at how the children play
None of us know what's to come tomorrow
But I'm not going out today
So dance with me like the time we've got is borrowed
Singing from the windows
Sirens in the dark, where are you going?
Pretend that it's nothing
But look at this fire burning wild
This is how we keep holding on
All days, all day long
But sometimes things just fall apart
No matter how we try, they won't stop
Singing from the windows
Something outside that I don't know
When the war is over
Picking up the pieces of every day
Memories in picture frames
Trying to put the inside out and the outside in
Singing from the windows
Walking down the hall, nowhere to go
Be good to see you
But I suppose when it's all said and done
This is how we keep holding on
All the days, all day long
But sometimes things just come apart
No matter how we try, they won't stop
Singing from the windows
Voices outside and no one knows
Singing from the windows
We'll get going again when the war is over
