Death Cab For Cutie - Before The Bombs Lyrics






Before the bombs
Before the walls came down
We would lie in the summer sun
Watching the clouds pass one by one
Before the fires
Before the spools of barbed wire
You said you would never forget
What pierces deeper than the bayonet?

There's only one thing that'll save this place
The only thing that they cannot face
There's only one thing that they cannot take
Love, love

Before the mobs
Before the inside jobs
Sleeping in on borrowed time
Too distracted for the modern crimes
Before the war
Before the troops came ashore
I held you deep in my arms
A fool to think that they could save you from harm

There's only one thing that'll save this place
The only thing that they cannot face
There's only one thing that they cannot take
Love, love
There's only one thing that'll save this place
The only thing that they cannot face
There's only one thing that they cannot take
Love, love
Love, love

Before the bomb

There's only one thing that'll save this place
The only thing that they cannot face
There's only one thing that they cannot take
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love

    [Verse 1]
    Before the bombs
    Before the walls came down
    We would lie in the summer sun
    Watching the clouds pass one by one
    Before the fires
    Before the spools of barbed wire
    You said you would never forget
    What pierces deeper than the bayonet?

    There's only one thing that'll save this place
    The only thing that they cannot face
    There's only one thing that they cannot take
    Love, love

    [Verse 2]
    Before the mobs
    Before the inside jobs
    Sleeping in on borrowed time
    Too distracted for the modern crimes
    Before the war
    Before the troops came ashore
    I held you deep in my arms
    A fool to think that they could save you from harm

    [Chorus]
    There's only one thing that'll save this place
    The only thing that they cannot face
    There's only one thing that they cannot take
    Love, love

    The only thing that they cannot face
    There's only one thing that they cannot take
    Love, love
    Love, love

    Before the bomb

    Love, love
    Love, love
